Wondering the sound difference. I have slash cuts right now, and there is a tiny crack in the pipe near the header. So, need to replace. I just can't come up with a decision. I like the look of the Big Radius 2 black pipes. And I really love the sound of my pipes now. I even like how it back-raps on deceleration. I am just so afraid to buy some pipes that aren't as loud or sound as good as the ones I have. Top end doesn't matter to me as I have never had "him" throttled all the way.
I am biased but Big Radius all day, every day. Great sounding pipes, 'back raps' on deceleration will depend on how the bike fuelling is setup and with a change of pipes no guarantee that it will still be there or perhaps become more prominent?
My big radiuses came on the bike so I cant say i chose them, however i am extrenely happy with them. They are loud and have that nice muscle sound but they arent obnoxious enough for my complainy neighbors to be angry (not that i care at all... lol)
I never had the Big Radius.
I did have Longshots before I went to Big Shots Longs.
Longshots have a very nice sound to them and you can make them as loud as you like. A side benefit is one doesn't see them too much, unlike the Big Radius.

All I ever see are the long shots with a bike attached to them. Not a fan, at all.
Advantage of Big Radius, you can get bigger saddlebags.
I've got the big shot longs on my heritage and the big radius on my slim (both 13's) and I like the both. I think I might like the big radius a little more because of the "back-raps". You can ride either REALLY LOUD or quiet.
To each his own. I just got rid of my Big Radius because they were way too loud. Don't get me wrong, I like the sound but I like it behind me not straight down where the sound bounces off the pavement. I went back to stock. I would like to get the two into one V&H or the Cobra exhaust but I can't justify the cost just for the sound. Popping on development is not a good thing. It's telling you that your out of tune.
I can appreciate your not liking the sound volume. As you say, to each his own. But nowhere in these posts did I hear anyone say anything about popping on decel. The back rap mentioned is not a decel pop sound.
