V&H pro-pipe BP on both the dyna and the ultra. wouldn't want anything else.

Do some research, the V&H 2 into 1 header is top dawg on any twinkie in my book

but thats just my nickels worth

YMMV

I had V&H on my XL, Dyna, and now my SG. No better pipes IMHO. Got the TD&Ovals love the sound.

I have the big shot duals also and really like them. Like others have said, nothing better as far as fit and finish go. One piece heat shields look outstanding. Only downside for me is they are just getting a little loud lately. I'm thinking about going to the Rinehart 2-1. Several baggers around have the slip-ons or the duals, but haven't seen any on a bagger yet.

if you look at the headers on rinehart, hooker or v&h you will see they are the same. as for mufflers its a personal choice. baffled adj. or wide open the choice is yours. i use wild pig pipes because of sound price and made in the good ole usa!

have had the big shot duals for a couple of years. the only thing i would change on them is getting them in black. that wasn't an option when i got mine. i did put the quiet baffles in them right away. they don't quiet them all that much, but they do give them a deeper tone, and eliminate a lot of that 'jake brake' sound when slowing/downshifting that they had with the stock baffles.

no, they aren't. my wife has the rinehart headers, and they stick out about an inch further on the left side vs. my vance and hines. not really a big issue for most people, but because of my short legs, i burn the inside of my thighs on her bike (when stopped, or backing)

Not quite.. if you look close the VH Dresser duals head pipes fit much better and conform more to the bike and look alot cleaner than the BUB head pipes. Check it out at the next bike night you will see the difference. I run VH Dresser dual head pipes and Bub 7 mufflers and really like that combo

I have the V&H oval slip-ons. I love them and get a lot of compliments on them. Not too harsh but not too quiet either.

I had the Dresser Duals and Ovals on my '05 Electra Glide and I liked them. It was a quality exhaust and sounded very nice.

Cloud09King, you can hear mine here on the link. I have the V&H Dresser Big Shot duals with fishtails. No blueing, clean look and sounds good. I like Bubs also, but for some reason they were hard to get when I ordered my Ultra. Never cared for the black tips on them. Went with the Big Shots and I like them.
