RE: Big Shot shorts

I don't have the big shot shorts, but I do have the shortshots. I believe they are a slightly smaller diameter (1 3/4) as opposed to the 2" big shots.

Mine are LOOOOUUUUD!!! Not as deep as the SEII's I used to have, but easily twice as loud. They kind of have a drag pipe sound. Sort of a (pop, pop, pop).

EDIT-Oh, yeah. Mine have the baffles in them. I won't run straight pipes. Lose too much power.

RE: Big Shot shorts

I just got the Big Shots put on my 05 Night Train and they are loud. Baffles are in and have no need to take them out. I got the SE A/C Kit at the same time and re-jetted. Let me just say I had SE Slipons installed on my 03 Sportster and the Big Shots are alot louder. You can easily crack the throttle and set off car alarms, I couldnt do that with my SE's

RE: Big Shot shorts

HD is trying to get us all to lighten up on loud pipes. We are pushing our sport to the limit with too much noise. I have staight shots on my Softail WITH the baffles in and my wife says she does not like to ride behind me. No baffles and drag pipes are a very big waste of low to midrange power. I had a VRod pull up along side me in my truck with some type of drag pipes and I wanted to yell at him to calm it down. Sounded like crap and very very loud. Made him look bad in my opinion.
