Default Vance & Hines or Toxic?

Hey yall! Total noob here from Illinois and proud owner of a 2007 Night train.

As many noobs like me, we start modifying step by step. I've done the foot pegs, levers and mirrors so far. Im now deciding on pipes.... these Screaming Eagles really are not cutting it for me.

My first choice are the black big radius by vance & hines. Really dig 'em and im ready for them. But today i came across of a black set made by Toxic. Love the looks but are they reliable? Any good? Thoughts?

Thank you for your advice.
Mick.

V&H have great quality. I had a set of Straight Shots. I removed them for a Thunderheader, because I wanted a 2 into1. They are for sale now.

Saying that, I suggest you skip the exhaust for now and lower your bike. Friends dont let friends drive 4x4 bikes!
