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
