I’m contemplating just going with either V & H Classics or Ovals slip-ons right now. I’ve never heard either one, and realizing that sound is very subjective, how would you describe the sound characteristics compared to Rinehart True Duels?
Thanks

Gregg,
I've run V&H Classic slip-ons on V&H true duals for about 40,000 miles on an 88 incher. When I was looking to buy pipes, I was at Daytona, and walked around and listened to as many bikes as I could. I really thought they had the best sound. Nice rumble, not brash nor tinny.
The Rineharts weren't out back then. Comparing them to Rineharts on a comparable bike, they are more of a mellow tone. The Rineharts have a sharper sound to them, probably due to the size of the baffle. The Rinehart is a good sound, and I am putting them on my new bike, but it is louder, and a bit coarser, if that makes any sense.
My concern with the Rineharts is that they might be a bit too loud. I'll have to wait and see.
I still have the V&H Classics, and wouldn't mind shipping them out to you if you want to try them.
Chief
