Not Longshots, but just put a set of Straightshots on. Didn't change the air cleaner, and haven't had the EFI update downlaoded (HD wants about $250 for that). Like the sound (though I'm toying with the idea of getting the V&H "quiet" baffles (about $60). Occasional "popping" on decel. Overall --- Happy.

I'm running the Double Barrel Longs on my Deluxe. They're the "Q" Series, which means they come with special V&H quiet baffles in them. They sound great and run great. I've got the V&H FuelPak on both bikes as well and it seems to run smoothly with the pipes. I'm sold on the V&H pipes in general. I don't think you'll go wrong with anything. But I do recommend the qb's no matter what pipes you get. I put them in my straight shots I use to have on my Sportster and was much happier. They really bring down the tone to a more rumble sound and keep your ears from hurting as much.

The Dr. is right... the qb's are MUCH easier to install before you put the pipes on the bike. However with the Double Barrel Longs, they come pre-installed. And for that matter, when I bought my BSS directly from V&H, they pre-installed them for me as well. And they added the nice chrome slash cut tips which really make it pop. I did install the qb's on my Sportsters straighshots a couple years back though. It took maybe an hour? It was harder with them already on the bike. I think I ended up just pulling the slippons off and doing it that way, then reinstalling them. But either way, an hour at the most.

Longshots with BCT Monster baffles. Loud. Pipes have a deep exhaust tone that is even deeper if you run without any baffles. The pipes bark in a good way when you lay into the throttle. On decel, there is the typical rumble, gurgle, and occasional popping you get with any aftermarket pipe especially long ones. Stock V&H baffles were raspy. My bike has SERT and Big Sucker air cleaner. I have had no problems with yellowed or blued pipes (pipes have been on the bike since new).

We went with long Double Barrel Q's on my wife's 08 Deluxe with SE air and SERT. Louder than stock but not obnoxious. They have a really nice cadence sound to them. Her bike is louder than my 07 UC running a 103 with Monster Ovals. ported and poished heads etc. I would recommend them.
