I went with the shortshots and couldn't be happier. BTW I have an 883 and it sounds like a Big Twin with these pipes w/ stock baffles. HTH

short shots all the way.....from watching all the youtube clips of short shots vs actually standing and listening to those delicious pipes blast away makes a huge difference.....u won't be disappointed...just remember to get a download or a fuelpak if ur gonna change the air filter....
