V&H Straightshots
I am about to order some V&H Straightshots for my 2011 Fatboy lo. I plan on powder coating the heat shields black. Before I make the order, does anyone have any experience with these pipes? I understand they are not as loud as the Big Radius 2-2 but louder than the Big Radius 2-1. I am fine with that. I plan on getting the quiet baffle from V&H as well.
Thoughts?

I just did that, damnit, except mine have a modified upper pipe that curls forward rather than going straight back. They're quieter than the BigShots Staggered Blacks with stock baffles in both (which i have a set for sale if you're interested in a straight pipe, and would save you some money rather than spending $400 whatever on a pipe then another $+ on powdercoating)

I have a set of the "big shots staggered" on my bike right now, picked em up used for 2 bills. and is going to cost me around anther 2 bills to get them Ceramic coated black.
They are loud enough for me. I wouldn't mind throwing a set of the Quite baffles in, I read that it changes the tone a little. If you do get em coated I would go ceramic over powder, little higher heat resistance.

They dont come in black, which why im saying i did what you want to do.. I had the exhaust in my attic off my dads nightrain when he wrecked it.. And thats why im saying if you like the bss's at all, which have a similar look to the Straightshots, i have a set that will fit your bike

I just ordered BS Longs and currently have Chrome V&H Straight Shots on my Softail Deluxe (They came with the bike). If they work with yours I'll give em too you for $100 + Shipping....not sure if you decided chrome or not or if you ordered them.
