Question Vance & Hines products? Good or Bad?

Hi guys! I'm new to the world of Harley Davidson. I recently got a new HD 48 and I'm planning to do some upgrades like Intake, Exhaust and Tune and was looking into Vance & Hines website.

They are a reputable brand or just something into the lower tier products? Any suggestions? Other good brands I should consider?

Thanks!

They are great, dont forgot your FP3 for the correct mapping. I got a set of big radius V&H and FP3 fuelpak and it sounds and runs awesome.

Vance and Hines spends more money and effort on R+D then most in our industry and makes great product. Run their powerduals and FP3 on my Roadglide and couldn't be happier.

I've put V&H on several of my Harleys over the years. Nothing but good things to say about them. The other one which had great sound, looks and durability was Rinehart. I always went with true duals on both brands.

V&H are great. Had them on my 08 Heritage and just put on a pair of slash rounds on my 16 CVO. Couldn't be happier. Great finish and quality. Perfect sound.

Bang for the buck can't go wrong with V&H

if your looking for a complete plug and play setup for your bike and aren't interested in chasing numbers on a dyno sheet then it's the way to go.....

i was able to get a new exhaust, hi flow air filter, and FP3 fuel tuner for the price some guys pay for just he exhaust. Bike runs noticeably better and have had Zero issues 7,000+ miles later

great stuff (skip the short shots please) BUT, SKIP THE WEAK-@$$ FP3. GET A POWER VISION FOR TUNING.

they are basically the same price now since vh keeps rasing the price and the PV is on sale most places.

I'm extremely happy with my V&H twin slash slip-ons and FP3 tuner. Great fit finish and quality. Originally had a SE Street Tuner, now you want to talk about WEAK... The FP3 does everything and more for what I want to achieve in having my Sporty run great. Their phone app is fantastic for smart tuning and just wanting to monitor the specifics on the bike, while the phone is on the ram mount.

What's wrong with the short shots? I was considering them for my 883.
