Default Vance and Hines Big Shot Duals Exhaust System

Anyone using these? How do you like them? Pro's Con's? Too loud not loud enough? Anyone using the quite baffles? Thoughts, comments?

Thanks,
Paul

I have a set of Big Shot Shorts on my Softail. They sound great. I would recommend them. No need for the quiet baffles unless you have a pretty aggressive build.

My father-in-law has a set on his 2010 Street Glide. For the price they sound awesome. The are very aggressive without the baffles. Running the baffles tones them down some but they can still be very loud when you roll on the throttle.

I have them and im happy with them. They are loud but before these I was running v&h big radius on my night train so i'm used to loud pipes.

I have them on my RKC and love them. They look and sound fantastic. Not using quiet baffles, I love the sound they make. They are pretty loud, but not annoyingly so.

I know supposedly the true duals lose torque, but my dyno guy got me 3 ft./lb. over stock (along with 10 extra hp). Can't think of any cons. They are really well made. V&H makes good pipes.

I had them on my '07. They were loud at first, then really loud after a cam swap. Great sound, just too much of it for me. Quality was top notch.

I did swap out the standard baffles for a set of the Big City Thunder QQ series. They were still loud, but they took a bit of the harshness out and made the tone a bit deeper.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Just debating whether or not to get these or maybe new head pipes and mufflers. I had a set of straightshots on my dyna. They sounded good a little loud after several hours, but figure I have a stereo to listen to now probably drown out some of the exhuast sound on the highway.

What kind of mileage are you all getting with the Big Shot Duals?

Have the black ones on my street glide. Love the sound and look. I've used their pipes on all of my bikes over the years. If I could figure out how to attach a pic, I'd show em off.
