Well, if you want to be, sound, and whistlelike every one else get Rineharts..... Ovals are ok but don't really care for the "oval" shape, personally. They look like someone ran over them once. You only gave me two choices so I would choose ovals, but I think I like the Monster ovals better than the old ovals. Look around and get something unique.

I have the V&H ovals installed and they sound great. Added the V&H dresser duals, and they sound even better.

I also like the V&H Dresser Duals for the head pipes, but with a set of the V&H basic slash cut slip-on....or the slash cut slip-on's with the black end tips almost like the Rinehart style.

If you want a modest sound, go with the ovals, if you want some real sound, the Rineharts are for you.....

My partner has the Rineharts and I have the Ovals. we both have the same bikes. The ovals have a little deeper sound than the rineharts. Both sound good most people at work like the deeper sound. Your choice.
