Nice, thanks guys. I'm trying to make a decision but can't choose. this really helps me out though. keep them coming if you got other types of exhausts.

 

I have Rush slip ons and I love the way they sound. A lot of people can't believe that I still have the stock header pipes and the only thing I changed was the slip ons. And they are a few hundred cheaper than an entire system. As for performance increase, I can't really say because I had these put on when I first purchased my Nightster.

If you want a full system the V&H sideshots are the way to go. 2:1 like performance for just a little more than the price of the short shots.

 

+1 on the Rush. I had them on my other Nightster and loved the sound.

 

Sideshots on mine. Absolutely love them Great sound, and the angle accents the tank lift quite well.

 

samson sinisters.good enough for me.

 

I like how the Sideshots look on the nightster, but on the Iron i prefer the ShortShots.

 

The sidshots are what I've been looking at because it looks like I can keep the mid controls on the bike and possibly do forwards if I ever feel like it and there is room to keep the passenger pegs on. I'm a tall guy but very comfortable with mid controls, the foot area is just cramped when I have a passenger on.

 

I have the Rush slip ons only, and am so far enamored with the sound. Nice and deep. Plan on the rest of the Stage 1 soon as $$ will allow. Pic below.

I just bought a set of sideshots! I decided to go with them because they are far supperior performance wise to the shortshots, and everywhere I go I see sportsters with shortshots and the reason is they are the cheapest full system you can get. Plus, since I do go out of state on my bike, I like how I will be able to change out the baffles for quiter ones or louder ones depending on where I am going to be riding!
