Default Exhaust Question

found my bike tipped over on the right side, I really don't know how it happened but i suspect it was not angled enough to the left side on the stand. Damaged the rt side bag on the bottom, front fender, and exhaust got dented.

Dealer want's to replace head unit with a VH t TD, I currently have pythons TD.
any opinion on witch is the better head unit? also how will this effect sound and performance. Thanks

I have Vance and Hines True Dual Headers with Rinehart 3 1/2" slip ons, on my Ultra and love the sound. I think it sounds better than the V & H Bigshots that I had on my Dyna, although the high RPM shifts on those made a very "sweet Growl" on the upshift. I can't comment on the Python's.

is this a ins claim maybe for vandalism ? anyway there should not be a lot of difference , you already have TDs and you are using the same mufflers , right ? I have had a lot of V&H stuff and you can't go wrong with there stuff , but why won't the dealer put on what YOU want ?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Vance + Hines makes the Pythons.
