Default Vance and Hines Longshots

I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can answer.

The Longshots don't have the 'power chamber' which the Big Shots Long do. Is there really that much of a difference in performance between the two pipes?
I kind of like the look of the longer pipes.

Also, I see the Bigshots Staggered advertised but never the Bigshots Staggered Black. Do you know of anyone who does at a reasonable price?
I'm also kicking around the idea of the BSS but wondering how the Black pipes might look.

I would love to hear some opinions. Too many of you seem to have a great eye not to take advantage!

supposed to be more torque with power chamber but more HP without. you may want to save some bucks and check out the www.hookerpipes.com before they are all gone

I was concerned when I wanted to put on the true duals. The best advice I got was "if you like them put them on". I am glad I followed it. The exhaust is fine, love the look and got on the bags I wanted. So,,,"if you like them put them on".

I thought the big shots long & longshots were one in the same?

Klaybus how do you like the sound of them?
Do you have the quiet baffles?
I'm looking for a deeper sound, not too loud.

And according to their website, the big shots long have the power chamber whereas the longshots are more of a traditional pipe.

Do the quiet baffles for the deeper sound. I did & their not near as raspy with the quiet baffles installed & they're a tad quieter too.

one thing about the quiet baffles, I changed to BCT in my shortshots and both had only half the glass cloth left the rest was burned off. They were only on for 2000 or so miles. They do have a deeper note compaired to the standard baffle. I think either pipe is just as good. If it's only a couple ftlbs of torque differnce between the two thats something you will never feel
