[QUOTE=Zateeva;18284506]you have decided then.........looks of what pipe you want, noise not an issue, money is objective. and hammering the throttle makes you choice of

Decided and ordered the Saddlemen Stepup. Still undecided on the exhausts. I asked VH about the cost difference, rep stated, cost was because of the difference in bend. Not sure I can justify $200 for those curves.

Are you deadset on Vance and Hines? There are some nice options from other brands out there. i really like the Cobra 3” Slip ons and their full exhaust set. Also, there’s some really nice 2 into 1 exhausts out there that some members here are running.

Cobra is a nice option......i wanted them, sound is much better, but they told me they would not fit my 02 with forwards..........i think they would and will test that soon

Decisions, Decisions. I've looked at a number of different brands including the Cobra's. Most of the 2 into 2 eliminated the passenger foot pegs which is why I'm liking the V&H's. I'm not a fan of the 2 into 1. Any slipons i would need to purchase head pipes. Anyways, not the end of the world, ill decide sooner or later. But do appreciate your input
