Default exhaust???

i have a 2000 softail standard and i'm trying to decide between vance and hines big shots long and rinehart 2 into 1's. does anyone know which one will produce more power and still give a classic harley sound. the big shots long are suppose to increase hp as much as a 2 into 1 exhaust but i just don't know which way to go. thanks.

like most other questions on this forum you will get a bunch for the VH longs mostly guys who have them on there bikes who have never felt what the others feel like on the bike and them another group with the rhinharts saying buy them bottom line get the ones you like the most the ones that you think look the best the difference will not have you breaking any speed records

I had a V&H 2-1, it made good power but I didn't care for the sound.
I switched to BSL and they sound good and make good power, but a bit tooloud for my taste.
I switched to the SE Double Barrel

I still have the BSL's in the original box with all the harware, and I have the quiet baffles. they were on my bike for about 1000 miles.

Part number 17909, I'll sell them for $250 plus shipping to you.

PM me if you're interested.

I have the V&H Straight Shots on my Night Train. LOVE the sound/look, and they released a few ponies for sure!

Cheers!
