V&H "Big Radius" vs. "Big Radius 2-into-1", Right Side Drive

[K9Anniv]

Does anyone have performance figures for comparison of these two Vance & Hines pipe configurations? With all else being the same, does one set of pipes outperform the other? I've heard the 2-into-1 gives better dyno results, but have no facts to back this up.

I like the looks and sound of the 2-into-1 better, but am interested if anyone has personal experience with these. What are the pros & cons of each style? Thanks for all feedback!:up:

Anyone?..Anyone? Surely someone has feedback comparing these two popular exhaust choices. Please post comments. I'm trying to decide for a winter project and would appreciate forum member input! Thanks! :up:

2 INTO 1'S will normally improve performance all the way around...

Duals are normally louder, look better, less expensive, and most people seem to prefer their sound...

I prefer the sound and improved performance of the 2 into 1 - even though I prefer the looks of duals...

I went with 2 into 1 - but like most will respond, it depends on what YOU want

2 in 1 is the way to go!
I was not sure but the deeper sound and
the performance are second to none.
My best friend has a 05 BD chopper
and he has tried to trade pipes
with me many times. Plus I know
my bike has a lot more get up and
go then his bike.
check out my photos with the 2 in 1 .

I like the V&H 2-1 good for passing the guys that are looking for your sighature but still has a good bark when you feel like a twist on the rt. hand.just a small sound on the deceleration.

Thanks jerr-06k9! I definitely like the looks of the 2-into-1 better...it looks massive and compliments that equally massive 300 rear tire. Doesn't look like it leaves any room for passenger pegs though...any special bracketing req'd?

Roadking, I have a V&H 2-1 on my 08 K9 and I love it. I love the sound and I love the look. I could tell a significant increase in power after I bolted it on. As for the passenger pegs, there's an adapter for moving the pegs up an inch or so.

I have a 08' Mutt with big radius on it. They scrape on turns at times but I love the sound and the look is exactly what I was looking for. To each his own I guess.
