Default Crack Pipes or Shockwaves

I'm kind of getting the bug for some new pipes for my Train. It currently has some V&H Big Radius pipes but everyone has them. The 2 that I am thinking about right now are some Supertrapp Crack Pipes or Martin Bros Shockwaves. Have any of you guys heard any of these pipes in person???

I have heard the shock waves on a 2009 Nightrain. They were the loudest pipes I have ever heard.They were freaking crazy man.I loved them.

Went threw the same thing with my ride. Went to the local watering hole and there were 5 bikes there all with the V&H big radius pipes. Still have not decided on what pipes to go with yet. Like the LAF pipes but hard to tune for. Still up in the air . Maybe a custom set.

I want loud but something that sounds better than my V&H pipes. Those crack pipes have always looked good to me but so have the shockwaves. Wish I could here them in person but know one has them here. That's also the other reason why I want them.

I have Martin Brother Shockwaves with Big City Thunder Baffles and the sound is great. When I was looking for pipes I was considering the Crack Pipes and the Shockwaves. Finally decided that I liked the lines of the Shockwaves better with my my bike.

buddy of mine had crack pipes on his train. they looked damn good and sounded really good too. i dont know how well he took care of them, but after 2 years the black was wearing off and they had some rust on them. never heard the shockwaves, but they look good. my only concern is with dragonslayer08's picture above. are you able to access the transmission fluid with the pipes where they are?
