I bought a used Kerker on ebay for 1oo bucks and it works just fine. It is rated right up there with the others too BTW on the Nightrider 2-1's. Good enough for me for the $. Big dog and Thunder Mountain has put them on theirs. I figure they probably know more than me.
I guess if you wanna spend 400-500, then go with the popular one that everyone else has went with.

 

I have SideShots but a big fan of ShortShots......clean, cheap and loud

 

Love the torque gains on my Thunderheader...

Go with the best-Vance & Hines & if the big radius is what YOU personally like then get 'em. You definately won't be dissapointed with their quality, performance & sound. I think there's a certain kind of pipe for each certain kind of bike...all depends on what"look" yourtryin' to achieve? Well, here's what the V&H big shot staggereds would look like on your bike anyway...best of luck & great choice in a Harley!

 

if you "must" have duals... i'd go w/ the bassani pro streets[look awesome-sound even better]

if you want the best bang for your buck... i'd go w/ a proven 2-1 system ie:d & d fat cat,rb racing l.s.r, rienhart, or t-header.

here's a clip of my bike [before all the powdercoating] w/ rb racing l.s.r.'s
love this pipe..wouldnt consider another for my bike...

i herd this through the harley dealer as this was going to be my first choice. He then reccomended the v&H staggeded for 609$. I have seen these as low as 450$ on some fuelmoto and either amercan classic or eastern performance. I can't remember off hand but the shipping would be free. The savings of 150+ is cool.

 

Sorry just an opinion, an I got a few, for example I think windshields on anything smaller than a Road King are ugly, back rest/luggage rack combos,drag bars with really tall risers,Electraglides with ape hangers,saddle bags on sportsters,apes with tall risers,pull back risers,crash bars,two tone paint jobs,tall pointy bitch bars with no back seat,big puffy touring seats,skinny tires,skinny girls,fringe,studs,conchs,extra chrome,flame shaped mirrors,stirrups,Vrods,Rockers,most Soft tails,Sportster customs and any "denim" color other than black or silver.

 

i referenced yer utube vid MANY times when i was selecting my pipes!

i ultimately went with fat cats w/ quiet baffles to try and get em a bit less loud

almost went with the rb racing black holes but was concerned with the torque curve.

 

I would do long shot staggereds like FXDC rider... I think the big radius look good on a lowered bike or a raked bike(wideglide) but not so much on the superglide.
Rush slipons rock as well (for the money) but I still prefer the full pipe from V&H over my slipons in the looks dept.

 

Dang, Ed, Crash Davis from Bull Durham ain't got a thing on you! It might have been easier to write what you do like. And I'm on the other end of the spectrum....I'm not crazy about fat girls.
