Default Vance & Hines Ovals

I have Jackpots on my bike now and I am considering something a bit louder. I don't want too loud but from the Youtube videos the ovals seem like they might be the ticket.

This review site allows you to review your Vance & Hines Ovals Slip Ons but so far nobody has reviewed them. Anyone willing to share your thoughts?

I have the V&H ovals slip ons - sound great but after about 5000km - they got quite a bit louder than when new. They do sound great but i may have to swap for something quiter if LEO start to ticket me for loud pipes. I dont know anyone here with Jackpots so i cant compare - My V&H Ovals are now louder than my Buddies Rineharts. When i added the PCV - they did seem to bark more than with no PCV. Monster V&H to lame for me.. my 0.02c

I have the VH ovals on my new SG and I really like them. I had Rineharts on my previous bike and like those, the ovals are fairly tame until you romp on the throttle, and they do announce themselves nicely, but not ear splitting loud. I have the red hot sunglow like yours and I think they look great on my bike as well. I recommend them highly. Enjoy.
