I have opted for the Roland Sands SP5 air intake, a power commander fuel system, but I cannot make up my mind on the exhaust. I have seen a lot of Nightster owners opt for the V&H shortshots, but I have already purchased the Roland Sands designed V&H 2 into one with billet holes.

This makes my bike look like a Buell, and that is not what I am trying to achieve. The parts depot stated that it has the best performance, but yet again I am not racing on the dirt tracks or off the red line. I also like the V&H side shots and the double barrell staggered. I like to shoot out of the gate or at the green light just as much as anyone, but this is not a race bike. I want a deep hearty growl, but I also want the mid range power so if anyone can help me out with this indecision, I would be appreciative of an experienced decision. Plus its not like I want to spend $800 bucks and say, "Hmmm I don't think I like that".

 

Pipes are soooo personal and hard to recommend.....

If U ordered them and want to return them, then I hope U've not unboxed them...

Really need to ask this in the sporty section.....

 

yea, there are so many exhausts available these days, and everyone likes a different one.

my rec: go onto youtube, search "sportster exhaust" and start watching.

 

Yup been on there for days, and I still cannot amke up my mind.

 

There's probably a staright hour of Nighster videos alone that I have seen

 

if nothing jumps out at you, maybe it's better to wait.

or, check the classifieds here when you gain access. a lot easier to handle buying an exhaust you don't love when you only paid 200 bucks for it instead of retail.

 

Welcome aboard from New York.

 

Well I have not seen another sportster with that type of exhaust, and I like it.

 

I have OEM exhaust but you will find many opinions about exhaust here in the forum. Happy New Year and welcome to the Forum from Indy!

 

The wife is old school and she doesnt like the exhaust, and I kinda agree. I bet that RS V&H exhaust kicks *ss, but I like the beefier low end sound. Thanks for all the replies!
