Buy my used Trotta D-2's, they need to be rechromed or ceramic coated, look on Trottas web site. He sells them for $1,100. I'll let them go for $150.00 or I'll just hang them on the garage wall. Good luck!

I think after ChopperDave gets a good summer on his pipes I will look at buying the Stainless creations, one that is two into one, I have the VH 2 into 1, and not real happy with the sound. 
Yes, pipes are a rip off as far as money spent. However, look at Dave's and then look at a set of BR. Very clear cut difference. Hooligan said it like it is, just as he usually does.I haven't heard anyone but Gas not liking the V&H pipe. I have spent a shit load of cash on pipes and the V&H are good as any. So you get what you pay for is not always the case with pipes, pipes are a f-ing rip off. The heat shields on V&H fit better than most, and our bikes seem to run well with them. Pig Pen has a set on his bike since 04, no trouble and his bike has always ran great! Sorry Gas, your the man, but can't always agree with you, don't be sad everyone is wrong once in a while.
heat shield fit? Tell that to Big House, he's broke 2 clamp mounts, and so did a few others before. I don't think they fit any better than an stock HD pipe. I will say that Martin Bro's heat shields fit for shit, but beyond that... as Alhall would say... heat shields are for pussies!
Again, look at a good pipe like Daves. Cutter did the other day and he even said he was amazed how thick the pipe was. Get what you pay for, cause Dave's is about one of the sickest pipes out right now IMHO.
And also as said... there are a lot of other companies out, that make a better, more stylish, more custom, and better power pipe.
Custom Bike deserves better than an "off the shelf" pipe like any V&H.

A lot of people have had V&H pipes installed (me included, 2:2) and they seem to look and sound good and work very well. On my new Dog, I'll be looking for the best all-around (quality & performance) after-market pipe that won't blow out your right side ear drum
when riding long distances. Right now, I'm leaning toward the V&H 2-into-1 Big Radius.

Clint @Stainless Creations can make ya any kind of pipe you want....and do whatever kind of tips you want! all ya have to do is shoot him a e-mail or call... his pipes are the shit!!:2thumbs:I think after ChopperDave gets a good summer on his pipes I will look at buying the Stainless creations, one that is two into one, I have the VH 2 into 1, and not real happy with the sound.
well worth the cheese!Might depend on the bike. But with the clearance of the hoookers I worry they will be like the BR... everybody will have them.
I don't know about quality... I have never seen a set in person...
