Pythons are great pipes, just as good as vance hines but about 100 dollers cheaper.

They sound great,
Hope you enjoy,
David

Great pipes, I have the same ones. I wonder what they would sound like if the baffles were taken out.

This will be my 3rd season with V&H Big Shots. Look great, sound great. Love the full length chrome heat shields. You never see the discoloration on the chrome pipes beneath them.

I have Sampson Big Guns II short slashers on my 03. They sound great and are cut at and angle that matches the swingarm. I looked and a buddy of mine recommended the Pythons when I was looking but they were out of my $$ range. I originally installed them without baffles. This was very loud, which is cool but the bike didn't ride as well as before. I installed baffles to add back pressure and torque cones at the head. This cut the note of the pipes a little but the performance was back where it was when I started. Good Luck with yours.
