The only reason I dont like to see people buy v&h is because so many people already have them on their bikes. I have nothing against the construction, materials, sound or looks. In fact, I like the way they look. Its just that so does everyone else. Thats my only beef.

Id rather have custom pipes wrapped up in black wrap.

just me.

 

To each their own I love my v&h big radius and I have yet to see any cruising the streets of longview!

 

I set off many a car alarm with my V+H Staggered Shortshots on my FatBob. I'd say that's loud enough. Of course that's just an opinion.

 

California really sux

 

Can't figure out what was worse.

The troll that posted this in the first place or the dipshit that bumped a 2 year old thread.

 

Me personally thinks the OP needs to get out more. V&H short shots are LOUD. I had straight shots on my dyna, and those were just as loud as the 2 1/4" open pipes I currently run (and that was WITH the baffle). I have never had any quality issues installing V&H pipes, and the side shots are solid performers. "Not loud enough" (when the pipes fit properly and work as well as any others) does not justify suck. Big hint- If you want to be taken seriously on this forum, thinking about your posts for say, 3/10ths of a second, will go a long way to prevent you from posting stupid statements (see also: this thread) and making us think that you are a tool.

 

You say that as if it's a good thing. Keep running those pipes and you'll end up with serious hearing loss.

 

I have Vance & Hines short shots too. You know why so many people have them? Because they are great sounding pipes and have a nice look. I have no complaints, but my neighbors do since they are a bit loud.

 

The best sounding exhaust is never the loudest exhaust. Kind of a quality vs. quantity thing.

 

Ok, I'll bite and add to the drama:

Too much time spent on this thread arguing and defending opinions, perspectives, and philosophy. There's no right or wrong answers on opinions. And "over-generalizations" based on limited experience may be presumptuous.

I'm not a V&H patron but vould it be the pipes tried wasn't good for a particular application?
