Default V&H Fishtails

looking to get some opinions about this exhaust set up. currently have v&h sideshots. quite honestly i feel like they rob me of power, though when i bought the bike they were already on there, so i have no comparison. anyone running the v&h softail duals? what are your thoughts? like the look? or hate the look?

If you like them that's all the matters right?

It may not be for me but there are many folks out there who do enjoy the fishtail look.

I think the look of those pipes fit your bike very well. The dual fishtails would decrease performance even more than the pipes you have now. I have fishtails on my bike but I bought them for looks and not for performance.
