V & H Big Radius 2 to 1

[Jimr]

Has anyone seen or bought a V&H Big Radius 2 to 1 exhaust? I'm not much into the 2 to 1 pipes but the pictures look really good. What sort of baffle do they have and are they replaceable like the Big Shots? I really don't want really loud pipes, just a nice rumbling sound and enough noise to let that four wheeler know I'm beside him! Thanks.........Jim

You can hear them on the V&H website. I saw and heard them on a bike in Daytona at bike week. They really looked cool and sounded bad a$$. Check out the link below, should take you to the site.

so...you audition pipes online? uhhh, ok

just got home from a trip with a guy with that VH system.....it is crap!
The can is too big, the system has too many opps for leaks and the clamp that holds the can on doesnt work well - the can moves even when tightened to the max.

soo, although the pipes are bitching online - IRL - they get a big thumbs down.

Good day to you, Wanker. I'm wondering if he got the pro pipe. I struggled with the decision to go 2 into 1, and I made the wrong choice. V&H pro pipe. You're right about the chicken sh_t clamp that comes loose. I also liked all the wording about chrome finish and bluing. How 'bout the chrome that's peeling off my end cap? How 'bout the rust that came up on my pipe AFTER polishing? With a polish that has always worked well on my chromed parts? Why is the fiberglass packing BLOWING OUT around the end cap with the chipped chrome? I am very disapointed. I thought V&H made better stuff. You sure pay better stuff money. Not just cryin and bitchin- the Wife's heritage has shortshots on it, and they're pretty decent.

JIMR, if ya gotta have it, ya gotta have it. Looks drive most of this industry, and that's the only reason they are on the heritage. I put the pro pipe on my ultra classic. To find out if I liked single exhaust, I cut the left pipe off the stock system, patched it, and rode it for a couple weeks. My patched system looked a little weird, missing the left pipe assy', but it RAN AWESOME. I actually LOST power when I mounted the pro pipe.

Obviously, these are my experiences, and you shouldn't make yer decision based solely on my post. BUT... ask around... and good luck!
