FLSTFI Dave,

I'm close to making the same decision as you did. I have the stock mufflers with the fulsac 2.25. Can you share with me the difference in sound (louder, not louder) that you're getting with the Hi Outs as oppose to the fulsac 2.25 cores? What made you decide the Hi Outputs are better? Any info you can share will be helpfull.

Thanks

   OK  You guys love your V&H HO, and thats great!  But you would swear you work for V&H?  We had a great day yesterday and I got a rare 70 degree day to get out yesterday.  I took a ride to the HD and it appeared I was't alone as others got a breath of spring fever until reality hit today.  Lone behold, a 2011 SERG there with V&H cross pipes, and HO mufflers right next to me.  Me with my Rinehart true dual 4" mufflers on my 2010 SE Ultra.  I closed my eyes, turned my back and it was difficult to tell any difference in the sound.  After a while, I was able to pick out the V&H with a more sports car type rumble and the Rhineharts with their signature deep tone rumble.  I will confess, that I have the performance baffles with my set up and that may have been the difference.  Another factor may have been my bike had miles on it, and the bike with the V&H only had 800 miles? 

Anyone looking for exhausts take your time, get out to a HD store or rally this spring and listen for the sound you want.  Everyone is individual and there are a lot of different sounds for exhaust systems.  The chrome process on some may be better so beware of that, but decide whats important to you and get what you like!

Gosh, i feel like the TV show MythBusters?......Ride Safe, people aren't looking for us in the spring, the largest % of motorcycle accidents in the midwest are May/June

If this thread were truly about the deepest sound, there would  be other brands being talked about than the ones that are. The thread title is misleading. The obvious question was actually "which of these two brands produces the deepest exhaust  "

This is my 2011 SERGU with rinehart 4" no baffles.



I love them. But again exhaust sound is like women, very personal.

Who has the best price on the V&H Hi Output Ovals?

Best Price 4" Rineharts?

Anyone have pics of the V&H with extended bags?

The Fullsacs sounded ok and were much better than stock and the price was right. The HOs just have that deep hotrod sound. And when in cruise you can still hear them, not obnoxious like some pipes, just a nice low rumble. And when you get on it they sound badass. I've put enough miles on them to feel confident in my review.

I have been very happy with the fullsac 2.25 cores for the past two years.  No one had 4 inch round mufflers / slip ons in Feb of 09.  The Fullsac then seemed to be the best deal for the buck and there was nothing that sounded much better or filled the bag cut outs as well.

The Vance and Hines Hi-Output rounds fill the bags a little better, have a deeper sound at idle.  I like the sound better and the looks better.  I am not sure how they are on the interstate or under load.  Should find out soon as they should be at my house today.   

I was also just wanting some change on my bike to keep my from looking at new bikes.

Ive also noticed most stock pipes do not hang in the center of the exhaust cut outs between the bags and rear fascia. I tried everything possible to center them and nothing worked. Then I looked at several other CVOs and saw the same thing. The V&H pipes fit in the center of the opening as they should.

Call Jenni @ Foster H-D, She just quoted me a price on the HI-Outputs well over 100.00 cheaper than the above price.
