Default What pipes do you run?

Looking for a deep, aggressive sounding exhaust. I have the Rush Slip-Ons on my 07 Heritage. Need something more in the styling and sound departments. Performance is important also. Looking at Hooker or V&H. I aslo like the dual fishtails for styling. Any input is welcome. Thanx

I run Python's that are staggered/baloney cut. They sound pretty deep.

Try some cheap a$$ Big Growls from Jireh Cycles!! They are 2" pipes that come a lot of the styles like the Samson Exhaust. To hell with those high dollar pipes that do nothing more that nothing more than cost 5 times as much. A friend of mine that put about $40,000 extra in a Wide Glide always comments on how good my '96 Springer sounds.

I have V&H Big Radius on my Rocker C with Thunder monster QQ baffles, they sound deep and aggressive.
