Have watched dozens of breakout clips and noticed 90% of them have big radius pipes. Just seems like an overwhelming majority to me. Nothing against the choice, there are better performers out there obviously, they sound good but come on, all these breakouts are looking the same to me after the pipe and cleaner mod. Big radius/heavy breather, big radius/heavy breather, on and on and on. Lets see some other options fellas?
I agree but there is not a whole lot available out there for full systems for the breakout yet ...I was getting ready to order it tomorrow until I saw your post ... I wish there was more options

I hear ya, options could be limited. Whenever I start to see a certain model looking the same...it would make me go another direction even if just slightly, enless one just HAS to have it of course.
Jbreakout13, I see you're from Ontario. I grew up there and we're the same age, maybe same town/school? LOL. Good luck with your pipe choice, it's never easy!
I do love the look of the big radius on the breakout .... Here in Ontario and where I live ... as of yet , I have not seen another breakout on the road .. I was down in Port Dover on Sunday ( home of PD 13 ) I live about a half hour away and there were allot of bikes there as there always is on a weekend when its nice out and again not a single breakout ... So maybe I will be the only one around this area with the big radius if I go that route LOL
V&H's and many other exhaust builders are gonna be slow to build based on how they got burned with the Rocker. After speaking this week to multiple exhaust builders the Rocker had a negative effect on their sales and as such, they are waiting to see if the Breakout sales stay strong before they commit to building more. Until then, there are a few exhaust out there (many which the exhaust builders say won't fit) but they actually will.
24v has a set of Black V&H's from his Blackline that fit, so that proves that some of the exhaust builders are BSing us since he proved a non-rocker exhaust will fit a Breakout as well as Bassani, Freedom and V&H having exhaust that fit.
Oh you could put other pipes on a Breakout but when BR pipes make the bike 100% better looking (and sounding), why add something else? You could always leave it stock, then it wouldn't have the "cookie cutter" look. TBH...I've never seen one BO on the road.
Luckily for me, I actually love the look of the Big Radius 2-1 chrome on the Breakout so that is what I'll be going with. I really don't care if a million people have it ahead of me, I think it is the most attractive option (to me). Something about that curved chrome just speaks to me on this bike.
