just got a 2017 48 and I'm looking in to changing my exhaust..
so im kinda in between the bassani sweeper and the V&H big radius
which one is louder? also looking in installing air intake too

 

IMHO, V&H, for sure... It's a good problem to have.

 

bassani

 

haney-badger its a tough one lol
cvaria why?? is it louder?

 

Darryl Bassani doesn't make junk. even the sweepers are stepped performers

 

I have sweepers on my sportster. They're loud. And they sound really good. You won't be disappointed.

 

V&H is known for quality. I've had them on all 5 of my Harleys. They bring the exhaust to life, and they are loud AF.

 

jlb2782 if i ended up with the sweepers, do i need to change my air filter cause i was reading that it melts the stock one??
honey-badger whats the difference between short shots and the big radius?? thanks

 

I haven't changed the stock filter yet, unfortunately. But, it hasn't melted.

 

Something else to consider... With the bassani pipes stock passenger pegs won't work. There is a bracket to mount the peg in a different location. I don't know if the pipes come with the mount or if it something you buy separate. I have no clue how the v&h work with pegs. Maybe someone else will chime in with that information.

Just saw you have a '17. My info pertains to an '05
