I have a vance and hines big radius 2 into 1 now. Not a real fan of the look. Looking to buy a 2 into 2 big radius Is the 2 into 2 going to be louder? Looking for more sound.

Probably. You'll probably lose some torque, too. I have the BR 2-2s and have been real happy with both performance and sound, but I have great cam, too, which compensates nicely for any performance I lose with the exhaust. I might go with a 2-1 one of these days to improve performance, but so far I haven't found or even seen a 2-1 system that turns my crank, yet...

In a word, yes. Some like the sound they make, some don't
