Default V&H competition 2into 1 Are they worth it?

I want the competition 2 to 1 so badly . I would be getting the black one too. I have the black short shots right now but i have noticed alot of guys have these and i just want to be diffrent. What do you guys think of the 2 ito 1. I am only refering to the competition ones because i just really dont like the look of anything else on my bike. Where is the best place to get them. ? Im thinking american classic off ebay. Joe major is great! Anybody whom has these pipes just shoot me your thought and how you ike em! thanks

Im hoping for more low end torque. I know true duels lower this, but i cant wait to see the diffrence. Im gonna try to sell my short shots. They have two sets of black shields with them.

A good 2-1 system like that will make a big difference over those short shots.

I don't have the ones your looking at but I do have the V&H Pro Pipe which is 2 into 1. I noticed a big difference in low in torque. Wouldn't trade for any other pipe. Very satisfied with my 2 into 1. It's turned into a running joke with my buddies about how many rinehart owners will comment on how good my V&H sound.

I just ordered mine from the Indy today in the stainless brushed finish and a roll of lava wrap...
..they're on back-order and should ship in early March, can't wait! Heard a set on a V-rod Saturday.

Will do a before and after sound clip, and a dyno run on both pipes if i can get it scheduled.
