Default Exhaust question

What is the real difference between V&H full exhaust (2into2 or 2into1) vs the V&H 3" slip ons?

"$$$"
2 into 2 OK but 2 into 1 gives you better cylinder scavenging and performance. With the full exhaust system it is an integrated unit that is tuned to work together versus the slip on that reduces back pressure only and is not tuned to your bike. This applies to any exhaust system.

Remember though that unless you are trying to wring every last HP out of your bike, a full system may not be worth the $$$ to you.

If you are doing just intake and exhaust, it probably won't make much difference
