sorry, will try to get better pics soon

We've been so patient!

[G_Fend]

Slowly but surely....if you haven't seen it, V&H posted on their Facebook page a picture of the Gold Breakout that they just received so that they can do their fitment for exhausts.  Hope they are working a deal with Santa's elves to get me a set for Christmas!!

If you hadn't seen this on the V&H Facebook page, it was posted on the 12th: "The first confirmed fitments for the CVO Breakout is part numbers 16831 Straightshots HS slip-ons and 16835 Twin Slash 3-inch"

I really like the look of the V&H 2 into 1 pipes

I have never known anyone with these and am curious as to how loud they are.

I like a good sound but am not a fan of very loud exhaust.

Anyone had a set of these?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Ron.  I have had this exhaust on my 2008 FXSTC Custom for 5 years.  I have a Big Bore 103" motor upgrade with SE racing heads.  I only mention that because the compression on that motor is close to the stock 110 in my CVO, so from a sound perspective, they should be similiar, I think(but I am NOT a motorhead, so I may get corrected).  My caveat to this is the Breakout sits several inches lower in the rear than my Custom, and the 2-1 exhaust is angled so that it is pointing toward the ground, meaning there could be some increase in volume from the sound bouncing off the pavement, compared to what I am used to....not sure about that....

I want a very low, rumbling sound on my exhaust, and that's exactly what I have with the BR 2-1. To me, that is what Harley's sounded like back in the day, IMO. The tone is low enough to set off alarms up and down my street, but the volume is not that loud.  Some folks like the raspy, higher pitched sound of say, a Rinehart Racing exhaust, so there is certainly a lot to choose from.  I have only had V/H exhaust on all my bikes(my V-Rod being the exception), so I can speak to their quality.  Their chrome is as high a quality as HD and maybe even more.  I have never, ever had a V/H exhaust blue on me before.  Plus they have real people in California that handle their tech support lines and I have always had great luck with them.. 

I am waiting impatiently for V/H to confirm 2-1 fitment for the Breakout !

Thanks  Z06 for the reply.

I also like a deep rumble versus the high pitch sound.
On my Ultra I have a set of V&H monster ovals. These are deep sounding but not too loud.
I expect the 2 into 1 to be louder. On a bike like the Breakout, I want them to be a little louder but not painful.

You are right, Vance & Hines makes a quality product.

I have these on mine and tho they are loud, they are not obnoxious. The thing I have to get used
to is the way the sound echos off the pavement, not bad just different.

I just put the 3 inch VH Slip Ons on my breakout two days ago and it now sounds like a real Harley which is sweet!

Trying to decide if I want to go with the slip-ons or wait for the BR 2-2...decisions, decisions!

I hear ya.....I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to get something to fill the void !

Ah, so you are going with the BR 2-2....beautiful exhaust.  Someone here posted a pic of a black Breakout with the BR 2-2 installed.  It was in a dealer parking lot....Lake Charles Harley-Davidson if I remember correctly.  So folks are already mounting existing part numbers to these bikes.

I am this close to getting the BR 2-1 that I have confirmed was installed on a Breakout-an existing V/H part number.  I noticed that Dennis Kirk has the best price by far that I have found.  They have a 90 day return policy with no restocking fees, and they tell me part #28019 will fit my bike.  And if it doesn't I can always return it and just be out the shipping....

so close to pulling the trigger.....

Just do it! You wont regret it

[Fisherman]

 Yes do it Z06 you are the man for the job ,your reports are second to none and i /we need more detailed information

[Dobeman2000]

Best to wait and get confirmation- I spoke with a rep at Vance and Hines and he said they had to work with the 02 sensors?    Current set up "probably" works just fine, but I know I don't want to spend the money and potentially mess up the bike, so I am waiting, not to mention that mine is in storage anyway, so I guess that makes it easier for me to wait (did buy slip ons, but I won't put those on until I get a fueler so it is tuned properly).

I've got some Chrome Cash to burn, so I'll probably order through the local HD shop once they're confirmed. Either that or use it for some heated riding gear!
