Guys runs these I have just about made my mind up to go with D&D Fat Cats 2 into 1 until the wife and I were looking at you tube and come across these, from what we could tell they sound great and raising the foot pegs up is a must because they to low for here little short legs anyway. She loved the sound but my only worry is how much power will I lose from the Fat Cats to the V&H BR's. 07 Street Glide 103" woods Tw6-6 cams?

 

I been going back and forth with the idea of the BR pipes. I like the look. The power isn't a big concern. I wish they made quiet baffels for them. I think they would look good with stretched bags. There are some pics of a SG on Bad Dad's website with stretched bags and the BR, looks sharp.

 

What about the exhaust for a passenger? Can she breathe?

 

Hey all,

I've had the VH Big Radius Blacks on my 08 SG for a little while now, and I do have some serious heat issues. I do think it has to do with my local harley dyno guy not being able to set it up right with a SERT.....everyone that uses a PCIII or VH Fuel Pak seems to have no isses with heat...but me, alot of heat...especially right under the passenger floor board.....im still dickin around with my HD Dyno guy about it...but the looks and sound are killer!

 

Are the BR loud? I must be getting old, I dont want them loud anymore. lol

 

I think they look great. But for travel with Mrs. I think she might get uncomfortable. Form over function for the wifee...

 

If you're worried about performance, you will take a pretty good hit. I almost went with these pipes because I dig the look and the sound and I have them on my Softail Custom.

I'm glad my indy talked me into the D&D, I think they sound better and definitely perform better.

Depends on what you're looking for...looks and sound, V&H BR definitely fit the bill...performance will suffer however. I dig the looks of the BR.

 

Performance is a issue, if it was not I would not have spent the money on the big bore and cams, but its not the only thing. I was hoping to find somebody who had some numbers to compair. What kind of HP & TQ lose I would be looking going from the 2 into 1D&D's to the V&H BR. Any ideas??????????

 

With SE AC kit and K&N filter, Mastertune TTS with dyno and the D&D Boss pipes, I'm putting out 88hp and 98 ft/lbs of torque on a 96".

 

I have Vance and Hines Big Shot Duels now. Are the BR louder?
