Like I said I wasn't trying to hassle you. I heard those pipes originally came without heat shields and radiated a lot of heat. I am curious as to whether they come with heat shields now. Thanks for the clarification. I have a hot little 95" Fat Boy as well as my bagger, and am exploring options for a 2 into 1 exhaust that won't easily drag in the twisties. I'm leaning toward either a Supertrapp or a D&D Low Cat, but have always liked V&H quality. Again, thanks for all your input to this forum.

 

i'm using the new stepped version of the vance&hines 2 into 1 pro pipe, and i must say that i've never, never been as impressed with fit, finish, the chrome is abolutely perfect, and the sound from my 103" with the 10.5 pop ups with the .579" lift cams. the word awesome doesn't begin to describe. she's got an incredible howl that just sorta touches the soul. am i impressed with the new vance& hines? hell yes i am. the system was substantially cheaper than the fatcats or thunderheader, but it's got the very long primary tubes that promote great low end torque. this is the first 2 into 1 i've used, and i'm extremely happy with it.

 

Thats funny as Hell, Ive been running a Road Rage for over two years with out heat shields never caught my pants on fire though.

Ive installed 2 of the HO pro pipes, I didnt notice any more heat than any other pipe with or with out shields.

 

Pics are on the way! I'd rather ride it than take pics of it! I've managed to get her pretty dirty but she will be shined up tonight. I'll take pics tonight. Seriously, she is a beast. By far the meanest sounding exhaust i've ever heard. Peoples heads turn and you can read the "what the hell" expression on their face. I haven't gotten into the cams at all yet obviously. I got up on the interstate and shifted into 5th going 80... not pushing her at all, no need for 6th gear! Beast.

RUSH's 2into1 puts out virtually the same exact numbers as the d&d's. the is a thread on here with dyno charts, just search for it. Same performance and $300.00 cheaper!!!!!!

 

My buddy put on a set down in Daytona. Swapped out his Monster Ovals for the new HO's. These look and sound better to me than the ovals so I think they are a great choice and worth waiting for. Video is sideways but you can still get the drift of the looks and sound. These were one of the first pairs sold so at the moment he is fairly unique.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYT6a8VZsMk

 

Ok, I'm confused here. I went on V&H's site and I didn't see any new"er" version of the Hi-Output slip-ons, or any other pipe that I hadn't there on the site for a little while now. Could I be missing something? Of course.

However, are we talking about these.........................??

If so, they are the Hi-Output's, but if there's something even newer, I just didn't catch it on the site. BTW, got ALL my exhausts from Dr. V-Twin. Good guys there.

 

These do look similar but other than the chrome vs black, I think the baffles are different and V&H said the ones on my buddy were one of the first pairs on any bike. At least people can compare the two since we were the last 2 posts.

 

Here she is, I like her
