pipes...which ones?
I'm going to be getting new pipes soon, but I just can't decide which ones to get. I've narrowed it down to two. Either the Samson legend series rip saws, OR vance and hines big radius 2 into2. Both would be the black option. Any thoughts? I wan't them to be loud too. Is either one louder? or have a better sound than the other. That's what it's going to come down to because I can't pick by looks alone. I really like them both.
It's funny that you pick those two because they just so happen to be my two favorite options out of the mass-produced varieties.
I've thought about a more "custom" like option from Led Sled or Sik Pipes but honestly I do prefer a longer pipe.
I don't think many people here have the Big Radius, though I'm sure that someone does and can help you with specifics.
barrygreen has the Rip Saws and highly recommends them.

Those are also the two I narrowed down to.. for me I think the ripsaws looks amazing! But since I have a nightster(mids) I would have to go forwards control($$) and then the exhaust($$). With that said the big radius can go on with my mids and I think it looks alil more aggressive

Where in Michigan are you? I have the V&H short shots on mine, so you could at least get an idea of sound even though they're not the big radius. I believe the short shots are louder, but the big radius is a little deeper sounding.

?I live sort of near flint. I've heard the short shots though before. And I figured that big radius had to sound similar.
I think the Rip Saws are about a hundred bucks cheaper. With the way the tips point downward, the sound bounces back making them sound even better.
I don't think that barrygreen will mind me sharing a PM he sent to me:

They are the Legend Series Samson Rip Saws, and they work with forward controls. Sorry no sound clips but I can say they sound AWESOME!
The shields cover this but they are stepped pipes going from 1 3/4 at the head to 2 1/4 in the straight part so they not only sound great they perform well also. Got them on eBay for $389 shipped in the factory sealed box!!!!
Also come in chrome.

out of all the pipes discussed here i would second your suggestion. those type of pipes are not really made for performance. i think the bubs are a really good blend between sound and performance.
