    If you want it loud & nasty go for short pipes like Python Venom Radius or Shortshots

    Welcome Macca.
    Log on to the pipe manufactures sites. They usually have their pipes on bikes so you can get some idea what ya looking at.
    As mentioned above short pipes give the most noise.

    My latest pipe is a 2-into-1 V&H Bigradius. Not real loud but after a nice deep note now rather than straight noise.

    Hi...this is my first post, other than a briefer "hi" in the introduction thread....still haven't got an avatar or bike description organized...

    I have my beloved 2007 Sportster 1200 Custom for sale and about to take delivery of a 2008 FXSTC Anniversary Softail Custom wooohoooo
    I have decided to get the dealer to replace the stock pipes with V&H Big Shot Staggered. All i am tossing up at the moment is whether to stick with the standard aircleaner initially, or to bite the bullet and upgrade it (together with a Power Commander) before delivery.
    Any comments or advice out there? and if i do so, i am trying to decide between the Hypercharger, or the SE Heavy Breather. Once again, any recommendations?

    Cheers
