Default Big Shots

In case anyone was wondering, The Vance & Hines Big Shot true duals are awsome. The sound is unbelievable and the fit and finish is awsome. I had stock headers with Screaming Eagle slip ons, on my 2005 road king and the difference is amazing. If you like the classic Harley sound, these are the pipes.

If you want to make them sound even better, replace the stock baffles with some from Big City Thunder!!!! Even better, and it sounds as though it idles slower although I know its not....but sounds more like a carb idle

Thanks, they are pretty loud stock. I know my neighbors hate me, because I cant stop cracking the throttle. I cant imagine them louder, it must be sick.

I've got 'em with quiet baffles and 510g cams...way too loud for my taste. Any other options to quiet them down, if not I'll go back to fatcat. Seem to perform as well as fatcat with these cams, and look great.

I will take a shot of them and try to download a pic. I am not very computer literate, but my wife can help me. They are awsome, you will love them.
