Vance and Hines short shots

[405bigdog]

Anyone know a part number in black that will fit my 05 chopper? Tired of seeing the always used big radius on it already, and not spending $1100 for the yaffe phantoms.

Thanks as always!!

Did you look on their web site?

Didn't see any bigdog anything? Am I blind and just missing it?

 

[405bigdog]

Which is why I wondered if anyone knew if some off another model would do the trick

Why not try something like these. Heard nothing but good about them and you can quite them down when you want. Price is right also! There are a few peeps on here running them... https://shop.patriotpipes.com/defender-pipes/softail.html

My engine guy has nothing but bad to say about the vance and hines pipes. He says they consistently make less horse and torque then the patriots that brew mentioned above. usually sees 6-10 hp gain and a better torque curve with the patriots

Do they fit? Is there a way to verify they'll fit the big dog Softail frames?

 

[Brew]

Yes they fit out scoots, I think Mr. Wright has them on his scoot, he might know which softail to order against. I'm not sure if you need to make or modify the support bracket or not, but he might be able to help make things clear as butter...

I've seen the short softail version on k-9's right on this site. If I remember correctly he posted the part number, and it mounted right to frame without a hitch. I have a bagger, and I'm taking the gamble. I'm ordering the long softail version. Hoping it works. Of course custom bracketry for me, but that's no big deal. I also have to relocate my front floorboards for clearance. (stock header routed over top of cam cover instead of below). As long as they clear everything else I'll be happy. Another Exhaust that will surely work Is the R&B LSR 2:1 pro stock.

It's not a very good picture, but I like them alot. They have a deep tone, and everyone comments on how good they sound.

Sniper just had a bunch of engine work done on his K9. It dyno'ed at 141 HP, the guy that did the work, told him that if he got rid of the Vance and Hines pipes, he would gain almost 10 more HP.

I see Mr Wright has left side drive. There is another post on this site somewhere the guy has RSD if that matters.

Yes. You can find a lot of videos on youtube. The difference is extreme.
