Best Radius exhaust??
Looking to change the pipes on my '99 FXSTC but can't find many reviews (or much info at all) on this type of exhaust. I'm looking at 3 possibles:
1) Vance & Hines - Big Radius 2-into-2 ($666.00 on ebay)
These appear to be really common, but they're $100+ over the other two brands. So I have to question is it actually just brand loyalty or is the quality that much better?
2) RC Components - Radius ($555.95 on ebay)
Least expensive and almost no information available.
3) Python - Venom ($579.00 on ebay)
These look almost identical to the V&H, and like the V&H you have to buy the O2 plugs separately.
Any personal experience comments are appreciated.

I've purchased and installed V&H Big Shots, Side Shots and Duals for different bikes. The quality has always been superb! Chrome is Top Notch and the fit was always Spot On. Easy installation. Note: none of the V&H pipes I received had O2 bungs which required plugging.
Owned a set of Pythons once. Couldn't give them away fast enough.

I don't think you've looked very hard for information here at least. All are discussed here in the Forum. Just search for any of them.
1. I have V&H big radius 2-1 on my bike and although not the 2-2, I like them a lot and think the quality is great. Yes a well known brand. There is a ton of info/comments on the Forum on the 2-2s.
2. RC Components Radius- no personal experience but you should be able to search here and find something, or call their tech support if you are serious about getting info. BTW I found them at US $489.95 (new) on ebay.
3. Eastern Performance Cycles states that the Pythons are manufactured by V&H.

No relevant info on the topic, but some advice on searching. Many will agree, the search engine on this site is completely useless, almost, but even blind squirrels find a nut every now and again. Much easier to go to google, type in your search word or phrase preceded or followed by "HD Forums". Returns better results quicker and with less hassle. Good luck!
