The Ovals and the Basics have a completely different muffler design. The Ovals do not use a fiberglass wrap, they are a steel baffle design.

I have ridden for thousands of miles behind my best buds RK with the V&H basic. Really great Harley sound with the packing intact. I would call them medium loud. Sounds like a good deal.

well i drove across the valley to get them today. they did have a few scratches from the heat shields. no biggie. they bolted right up. on the brake side the muffler does not have the indent like the factory one. i put a slight dent at the axle bold for clearance. when on the jack it does not hit.

so all that said the sound is deeper and louder than stock,
for me i believe it is what i was looking for!! and the wife is pleased. i did explain to her that i made 400$ for buying the pipes, she stared at me. i said that i was going to spend 500 but only spent 400 so its like being up 400 right? lol

ranman469 - not sure about your calculations??? - thought you bought the pipes for $100 not $400 - yes your right, that then puts you ahead at $400 - now you have $400 to spend on some chrome and extras for that new beauty
