Default New Pipes!

Ok, I understand this is hardly news around here but it is to me. I put new V&H BSS pipes, K&N RK-3910 and a FuelPak on my 2010 FLSTC. Could not believe the change it made. almost fell off the bike when I rolled the throttle! Makes the right sounds too, attention grabber! Love it! Kind of concerned on the noise levels though. Big difference between stock and BSS.

Did not do a dyno check, what kind of horsepower can i expect with this mods?

Got any pictures? I just picked up a new Fat Boy Lo and I'm trying to decide between the Big Shot Staggards and the Big Radius 2 into 2 pipes.

My concern is that both might be too loud? I've got the Double Barrel Long's on my Deluxe and I think they're just a little too quiet..but very nice sound.

Don't have any pics yet, took off the bags, rear seat, windshield to detail it. Will post pics after I have thoroughly washed it. I was going to install the Pro Pipes 2 into 1 as they have more power gain but was told by a V&H rep there was no sufficient clearance between the bags and the pipes, then he recommended the BSS. I am happy with the choice.

I put the V&H quiet baffles in mine and took the edge off the sound and seems to
increase lower end torque
