Default V & H big radius 2-1

Considering these pipes and have done searches on them and can't find a whole lot about them. How do they compare sound wise to BR 2-2 ? How do they compare power wise to BR 2-2 ?

More power, but a little different (deeper) sound. Yank out the baffles and your ride will sound like an alcohol dragster!

Chrome or black? They sound different! Just kidding. I have a black set at the shop ready to go in the mail now for a nice low price!

How's the ground clearance with these? I saw where some people had said that side shots, another pipe I like, hit during cornering.

Doc, once I figure out what I want to go with I'll be in touch. Thinking pipes, fuel pak, and air filter.

I currently have the 2-1 on my bike. My brother in law has the 2-2 on his 08 Night Train. The 2-1 is definitely quieter and deeper sounding. My bike is dropped 2" in the rear and clearance has not been an issue for me with the pipe. I scrape the floorboards quite a bit, but never the pipe. I have the heavy breather and PCV on mine and performance is excellent. I wouldn't change a thing. Hope this helps.

I think it is the best looking pipe on a Nite Train and the sound is deep and throty definitly more power than 2-2 but not the best proforming pipe. Doesen't work well on my 124" and hate to change it but the Pipe Pope said the Boarzilla is the way to go for mine.
