What a coincidence, I just removed the V&H Big Radius 2-2 from my '13 and put on V&H Dresser Duals and Rinehart 4" mufflers. I've used the BR on several builds. I think it may be the best sounding exhaust made. The downside with the short side exhausts are they perform best at higher RPM and can sacrifice low end torque. They can make it difficult to talk with your passenger at idle as well. Short pipes are hard to tune for decel popping as well, very prone to that. They do look and sound great. Hence the choice of what is most important to you.

All of those are SIK Pipes.

They look badass and start at a low price (450-550) but as you pick finishes and baffles and bungs, the price goes up. With everything included, they run about the same as V & H 2-into-2's.

That's kinda what I gathered. My wife has a bulging lower disc in her back, so long rides with her are not an option right now....its just short trips to dinner and back.

I tried riding beside another bike with Yaffe exhaust...it was like being next to a top fuel dragster at full speed. If you don't have hearing loss...adding a side-dump will definitely not help the cause.

A friend of mine has the V&H 2 into 1 pro pipe on his Electra Glide, that thing sounds bad *** when he gets on it but is not loud when cruising
