Best looking exhaust for Cross Bones?

I'm looking at different pipes, both from Vance & Hines. I thought I knew exactly whet I wanted but now I'm kinda up in the air so I thought I'd ask around. Also, is there a difference in sound between these 2 sets?

I just put the V&H Big Radius 2-2 black on my 11 xbones. I think they look and sound great, a little on the loud side though. I dived in at got the se heavy breather a long with the super tuner...

i think there's a $300 price difference bewteen those two systems, so keep that in mind.

Good luck!

Of the two choices I guess the Radius, but theyre both pretty common picks.

If all your going for is looks and sound, then the short shots, with the quiet baffles. If you want performance, go for a good 2into1.

there was no option for "neither"......as far as the two choices go, the short shots fit the X-bones more that the BR 2-2, but they are both pretty common. Had V&H never made the Big Radius, 3/4 of the softails around here would still have stock pipes. I had them on a Road King, but you almost never see them on a bagger. Hell, I can think of 7 of my Brothers that have them. I would look around a bit more if it was me. but ultimately its your bike and that's what makes this hobby great
