V&H Basic Slip-ons
Anyone have a sound clip of these pipes? I am trying to tell how deep the overall rumble is. I thought I found one on youtube, but it turned out to be a Venture. Owners of these pipes, please give your .02

+1 on sounding nothing like the clip posted by roadkingrick.
I heard the V&H basic slip-ons run side by side with a set of Rinehart slip-ons about 3 weeks ago or so. To make a long story short, they both sounded great & neither one is quiet AT ALL! I ended up going with the Rineharts because they had a deeper, more isolated "pop" to them versus the louder, fatter-sounding V&H's. Go to your local dealer & see if they have any bikes there with these pipes installed on them; this is what I did before finally deciding on one. You definately won't be unhappy with either of the two. If you do a search for "rinehart versus vance & hines" or maybe "why not Vance & Hines" you see a longer write-up I did on the differences between the two. I'll see if I can find it for you...

I have them on my -07 Streetglide, and I am completely happy with sound and performance with these mufflers. I run them with a PCIII usb and a K&N filter. They sound like a Harley should, but not too loud, I can hear the stereo over the exhaust when cruising and when I twist the throttle they bark nice.

Found the comparison write-up I did...

Talk about digging up an old thread. 5 months old, I think he may have gotten his pipes already
Yup, I did. It was a really tough decision, but I went with Rinehart slip-ons. Heard both V&H & Rinehart slip-ons side by side. The V&H's were louder with a "fatter" sound. The Rinehart's weren't as loud, but had an awesome deep, solid & isolated tone to them that didn't tend to "wander-off" like the V&H's. They both sounded amazing & I still think they're the two best sounding pipes on the market today. If I had a Dyna or Softail, then I definately, without-a-doubt would have went with V&H's. But for my bagger, I'm not trying to be as loud but more deeper-toned. I just personally think the sound of Rineharts just compliment perfectly the look of baggers better than any other exhaust. Just my own personal preference & to each's own.
