Let us know how you feel about these! I'm on the fence with these type of pipes looks wise. I wish I could drive identical bikes with a 2/2 and 2/1 to see what's up...

Hoping to get a little performance gain out of these. The last tune I had with my current pipes is not ideal. This is due to the back pipe being so short. Looking like it will be a couple of weeks before I get these on but I hoping it's worth the wait.

That was the second set of pipes I ran on an Iron. They performed and sounded much better than the Short Shots they replaced.

The pipes posted are the Vance & Hines Blackout 2-1.

Got these on mine. Love the fewl and sound.

You will need to decide if you like the wrapped look, cuz they get HOT! Wrapped, they are very bearable.
