The V&H are a bit deeper IMHO. I like my Caliber pipes personally because they are loud as any other when you rip on the throttle but when you cruise it just sounds like a lion purrrrrrrrring. The chrome job is less than perfect though. My girl has Bassani Street Pro shorts on her 103 and its just LOUD all the time.

I added the HD SE 16 Gauge Double Barrel Exhaust to my SE Fatboy. Also at the same time added the Race Tuner Kit. These pipes sound great!! Nice Deep rumble and loud (potato-potato-potato), but not so bad that other riders hate to ride behind you. My dealer said that these pipes are made for Harley by the Vance & Hines company. They really do sound great and look great too. Here's a picture attached.   :)  Sandy



I did look at the SE 16 Gage but did prefer the cleaner lines of the Vance & Hines bigshots.I think they sound pretty much the same.
Are you running the SERT? if so what map do you have downloaded?

Scott,

Nice Dyna, those pipes obviously make power but I don't think I could own a set (sorry mate)

Thought it was about time that I posted a picture with the V&H ProPipe. Overall I am pleased with the look, also my wife likes the sound much better.

Just about ANY pipe sounds better than stock!!! I have had mopeds when I was kid that sounded more like a motorcycle than the stockers on our fatboys!

Just bought my wife an 06 SEFB. This thing is so quiet with the power robbing stock pipes. They have to go ASAP. Like to find out what the consensus is around here for the best power/sounding pipes. I run a black ceramic Thunderheader on my SEEG and think that pipe might be a little loud for the better half. Read a few posts about the Samson/Calibre 2:1 pipes. Looked at them today and seems to be well made. Does anyone run a Screamin Eagle Tunable pipe? ANy feedback would be great.

On another note. After riding my SEEG for 18 months I forgot how nice soft tails ride. The SEFB is an awesome ride.


I, like Sandy, went with the Harley 16 guage double barrels.  Nice sound and I like the way they look.

Here is my dyno chart, finally got a copy of it. The only mods were the pipes and a race tuner. Calibers made by Sampson.

Phil,
Looks great!!! I had Pro-Pipe on my Fatboy and loved it. Even had the competition baffle installed, and this was on an Evo motor. Talking about getting car alarms chirping. ;D Can only imagine the sound on a 103 motor.

From everything that we looked at I thought these 16 Gauge pipes where pretty clean looking. Very nice chrome job all over and nice trim pipes that open up the rear wheel area a whole bunch, can see much more of the rear wheel. We added the Race Tuner kit, I think it's a Screamin Eagle kit, I personally don't know much about it, but it sure seems to have helped the preformace with it and the new pipes. I do know that it down loads into the bike and should I take these pipes off to run on maybe another FB in the future they can unload it back into a disk or something that I still have and it can be used again on another bike. Something like that anyway. Sandy

i second that  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  the big shots look very clean, i am torn between them or the Rinehart staggard pipes. they are even shorter and show more of the swing arm and wheel. its going to take me some time to decide, but since i woke up to an inch of snow this morning i dont see myself having to flip a cion just yet.  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]  the bike looks great mate [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] the custom handle bars really give the bike a cool race look.

cheers  [smiley=drink.gif]
