I am on the fence about which slip-on to go with V&H Eliminator 400 or 4" Rineharts(currently running V&H DD w/ old style V&H Ovals & PCIII). I have searched high & low for info about the 400's and there is just not much out there. I did contact Cheyne at V&H and he told me that the Twin Slash Rounds have 2.25" mechanical baffle and the 400's have 2.5" mechanical baffle but they sound virtually identical so I went out to Youtube and found this video comparing the twin slash w/ Rinos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc4tvEIxXfA. This is an awesome real-life video (hats off to the guys that made it). While both pipes sound amazing, the Rinos are a little deeper and the V&H are a little louder but it could be that the V&H rider seems to let it eat a little more than the Rino rider. So my question to you guys is do any of you have or know anyone with the V&H Eliminator 400's and if so what are your thoughts? It should be noted that the V&H slip-ons are $125 cheaper than the Rinos at FuelMoto.com Thanks in advance for your opinions.

This video is a pretty good comparison. I have the 4" Rineharts--got those because my mechanic said they produce a deeper sound. He was right.

I see you are from Hunts-Vegas, about an hour north of me, who is your wrench and how is the HD dealer up there with the new owners?

If you want a deep rumble sound, have you thought about CFR's??

Yes, I love the way the CFR's sound. My brother had a set on his RK (w/ Y pipe) and they sounded awesome so I bought a set when I put my Dresser duals on. Man, I ran her about 10 miles and came back and put my old V&H's back on; way too loud for me and they just didn't sound as good on my Bird or run as good as his RK. I think it's the DD's b/c he recently put a set on and then swapped the CFR's for Rinos (same issues with sound and performance). I tell anybody that asks, I you're gonna keep the y pipe then the CFR's are the way to go but if you have DD's or are going to get them in the future then I would go with something else.

Ok, got the 400's on and man what a difference! At first I thought uh oh, they're too loud. But finally got to do a hot lap this past weekend and I must say they are EXACTLY what I wanted! Perfect Vance and Hines performance sound and just the right loudness I was looking for.
