Hi all,

Ordering V&H exhaust for my 2008 Nightster is just a click away. Before I do though, I would like to get feedback on which to go for: I'm torn between the sensational looks of the black staggered shortshots - which many nightsters have on - and the chrome double barrels. My decision will based on the sound really. The V&H description of the double barrel pipes emphasizes more on performance and sound, whereas the description of the shortshots on style.

If any of you guys can provide feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers,[/align]

 

I got the shortys and love them the sound is amasing.They are loud when I say loud its almost too much for me I run a gear higher than I should to keep em quiet, but they demand attention. Also I like the all crome covers on them the black ones seem to take away from the look... The stock pipes came crome they should remane crome.


I do have to say instaling the shortys was easer than removing the stock pipes. You will be happy with them I know I am.

 

Cheers insanity.

Can I just ask, are they loud with a deep rumble, or rather a sharp "racer" one?

 

I had Short Shots before the pipes I'm running now, yes they are loud and deep

 

I like the look of the ShortShots too, but if they're that loud I may have to steer away from them. I don't like obnoxious loud. I'll have to see if they take baffles or was the loudness with baffles?

 

The Short Shots with std baffles are loud, deep and the sharp "racy" sound when you twist the throttle.

Adding the Quiet Baffles keeps the deep roar without the sharp sound - I aded the Quiet Baffles late fall & have been very happy wth the sound (took some of th edge off)

 

so the quiet baffles basically leave the loudness but cut off that top end trebly snap?

 

Each to his own and all that, but I don't know why you would want to alter the sound at all. They're not over the top loud. They're just about loud enough

 

I want flames coming out the ends of them, so no quiet baffle for me

 

I get mine on tomorrow...black short shots.

Another option is the reinhart cross back....looks very nice.
