"Big Radius" or "ShortShots"

Is there any big differences between those two pipes? (big radius and short shots) I am currently thinking to purchase one of them. Please let me know any suggestion or pros and cons about these two pipes. Thank you a lot
Is Big Radius worth that much money? because shortshot seems pretty enough and well price. I also heard that people have some problems after installing the shortshots.

Its your bike, do what you want with it. If you don't like the look, sell them and buy a new set. Or look for pics of both on google and the forum to see which style you like most.

But if you actually want my opinion....Go with Bassani, Cycle Shacks, or even Screaming Eagle. V&H are played out, and from what I've seen, Dyno worse than most pipes. But if you want sound......

Cons: Every other Sportster has them & you'll probably need to add tuner (what's your ride...??). Loud too - get some earplugs.

Pros: Cheap...

I Went w/Bassani Road Rage 2-1 for my Sporty...for me, better performance/sound and you don't see them on every bike.

I have had SS and I was never happy with the sound and the popping. The SS look sweet but not the sound I wanted. Plus…I became tired of seeing SS on so many sportsters…but that's just me. I recently added Khrome Werks slip ons and they sound great. Deep sound and plenty loud. If I changed, I would go 2 into 1 as someone previously mentioned.
