Default Having problem finding exhaust??

Been looking for pipes for my 2012 Blackline, but I keep getting a change of heart. I was about to order V&H Big Shots Staggered but they wont be shipping till Feb. Then I moved to Samsons Rip Saws, but they got bad reviews on here ( people saying they dont sound deep enough, and that their loud, but a bad loud). I seen the Rinehart crossbacks but not sure how they sound! I ordered a Arlen Ness Big Sucker kit and in waiting for the Power Commander V to be released for 2012 models. I wanna go as loud and deep as i can go! Any tips would be great!

I have the bassani road rage 2-1 short. Its really deep toned. It is loud but I got the short version for that reason. Get the normal length and it would sound great!

The Bassani that Fatso has would look great on a Blackline.

I like the looks of the V&H BSS in black for your bike . . . I know you said they won't ship till February, but I think it would be worth the wait. By then, you'll also have your tuner . . . You can always install some Rush or V&H slip-ons in the meantime if you want to make some noise. I think they look good on the stock pipes.
