Default Pythons or VH

Getting some new pipes this weekend. Thinking of either Pythons or Vance Hines Straightshots. Any opinions on which has best performance and sound?

I personally think V&H makes JUNK.

No matter what model they are on... they always have problems!!

May be a difference in sound, that's about it! Pythons are made by V & H for Drag Specialties.

I put V&H Straitshot HS on my Heritage last weekend. I really like them, although I wonder about the guy that designed the mounting system... Anyway, the quality is good, no problems so far, and they sound great.

Perfomance-wise, they are about the same as the modified stock system with the crossover I have been running for close to 20 years. No loss of low RPM perfomance, which is what I was concerned about.

Thanks all for the info. I'll let you know what I end up with and how I like/hate them.
