Im in the process of getting some new pipes for my 2010 street bob and am stuck at which to go for....drawn to the shorts shots but a few years back(2004) I had a set on a Night Train and they robbed it of some power(proved on a dyno) also how does the ceramic coating hold up compared to chrome....any issues there? any advice/opinions much appreciated.

 

I went with the classic look of drag pipes from V&H "Straight Shots" on my Fat Bob...and I am very please! The price was not bad either...$339.95 shipped to my door.

 

If your concerned about power cant go wrong with the V&H Pro-Pipe 2-1. I love mine sounds and looks mean IMO. As far as the coat vs chrome idk never had anything but chrome pipes.

 

Me too- V&H PP HO

 

May be of some help.

I wanted the short shots too but heard people have issues with them. I am now looking at the Big Radius 2 into 2 system.

 

I run the pro pipe on my FXDB. Great quality bit the bracket and pipe both drag fairly easy. I'm on my second bracket so far.

 

No power loss from the big shots that I can detect. Ceramic holds up great.

 

If it had been out when I ordered my pipes I would have gone for the pro pipe black
