Most V&H's pipes are on the loud side.
I'll add the BR's produce good numbers on the dyno. usually better that the shorter or longer ones in the 2-3k rpm range.

Several post lately about the dust they kick up and they will do that.

over all a good set of pipes.

Had a set but they blew a ton of dirt back onto the bike all the time went with big shots. Teflon

Well I have installed the V&H's BR 2 into 2 on my Blackline with no baffles and the same with all previous bikes (No Baffles). On my old Crossbones had V&H's true fishtails and then tried the dual tailgunners, again both with no Baffles.

Reason: Keep those sleepy and day dreaming Drivers out there Alert on the road that I am there

I am not into speed, so never really worried about performance gains that much. But I did just upgrade my Air Filter, Pipes, SE 204 Cams along with a SE Tuner just to have my engine breath much better and feel more relaxed

Dont't shoot the messenger but I have read that the Big Radius two into two is one of the worst performing sets out there. That is if you are looking for performance. Most are not.

I have read that too and remember watching a video clip on that topic.

Here is a mini clip on that topic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zreI23UkB6s

I still went for the V&H's 2 into 2 and would have also gone for the true duals if I had a deluxe or heritage. If I had a V-Rod muscle I would have gone for a 2 into 1 setup.

Smile V&H Exhaust ...

I put them on my bike right after I bought it, (just over a year ago). I'm happy with overall quality and sound, (I left the baffles in). Since I ride with ear plugs when I wear my half hemet, the sound is fine. Same when I wear my 3/4 helmet. People do raise their heads to look when I go by, especially if I "run it up through the gears"...

Ride Safe,
TIILM

I am glad you like yours. You are obviously not looking for performance and thats ok. We are all looking for something different. I will say that the Big Radius are still great looking exhuast pipes.
