I voted for you to keep the V&H that you have now. I like 2-into-1 exhausts, but I don't think they look right on all bikes. You have a very nostalgic look for your bike now. I think the 2-into-1 would ruin that look. A set of V&H Longshots would look really good, though. That would give you the longer exhaust, and a thicker look going all the way to the rear. So it would be similar to the thickness and length of a 2-into-1 exhaust. I think you should keep the nostalgic look, and just admire 2-into-1's on other people's bikes. If you do decide to go with 2-into-1's, Rineharts are very nice. I love the sound. I also like the design of the Cobra setup I have on my bike. I like that it doesn't have the megaphone styling, and also that it's not as common as other setups. I think a good compromise for nostalgic look and still 2-into-1 would be the fishtail style 2-into-1's. http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...E-8D3B55AEEB38 Of course this is all just my opinion. I'm sure your bike is gonna look good no matter which you choose.

or a Thunder header
I run Thunder header duals on my bagger and love it.

 

I ran Thunderheader and this winter I switched to RB Racing LSR. I like the sound of the RB. but the weather hasn't cooperated to get the bike on the Dyno for an actually perfomance difference.

 

I've got a V&H Pro Pipe that i took off my 02 FXST if you want to get a cheaper 2-1 to see if you like it. It's a damn good performing exhaust, it just didn't fit the style that I was looking for.

PM me if you are interested. Beats buying a new one and finding out that you don't like it.

 

+1

my opinion on 2-1's is that they generally upset established flowback lines of the bike where they turn down/up into the 1 muffler. i appreciate straight horizontal lines on a harley.

on your bike in particular you have the horizontal front fender chrome, the rear fender strut, etc. even your beachbars, in my opinion accent your current pipe scheme... they balance each other pretty good.

but then... this is only my opinion. this forum has presented ways to both reinforce and change my opinion. i value everyones tastes here.

i voted a stay of execution on your current pipes.

 

Trafficjams has a very good point. He has kinda swayed me. if you want performance 2 into 1 has dyno numbers to prove its more powerful. if you want looks your bike would look unbelievable with a set of fish tip true duals. straight pipes to the fish tips. I think vance and hines makes some. here is a link

You have a very nice looking scoot. I am a 2-1 guy but I htink that you would be making a mistake to change. your bike has style and class.

Like the look as it is. If you are set on a change I would look at true duals with the look and flow of your bike. I have the SE double barel pipes on my deluxe which are basicly the same looking pipe as yours. I have considered changing to the V&H true duals for the looks or the Flush Rineharts. The flush rineharts would not give much of a change in looks. My bike is running so good right now withthe pipes and download I am afraid to screw with a good thing.
If you like the black end caps and are considering true duals for your bike. I would suggest waiting a few months to see what comes out. I amwaiting
