    After a trip to my local dealer, AND a visit to the Internet, I was suprised to find I can buy V&H Big Shot  staggered pipes, in America for $550.00, but the dealer wants $1300.00, even after my "DISCOUNT"?.   What is the best way to buy and freight, from the US, are there some good and reliable outlets that we can source, and recommend for our use, and the use of our members? My '08 softy needs the sound of a true iron maiden.

    Thundermax seems to be the recommendation from RIDERS, altough I still think the '07 version, is not compatible with '08 models. (fuel light, dosen't work) ?

    Try this guy as well

    stores.ebay.com/AMERICAN-CLASSIC-MOTORS

     

    His prices are good but the shipping seems steep, Do your homework

    I reckon I read somewhere recently that the Thundermax has now been fixed for the 08's

    I got my BigShot Staggereds from http://www.easternperformance.com/, they had the best price I could find, from memory they were $399 USD,  at the time about $460 australian, plus $180 shipping, easy to fit at home, you need a mate to help though, takes about 2 hrs.

    Hey Ragle, just had a look at easternperformance, they have the pipes you want for $495US (plus shipping), have you given the ShortShots any thought, only $309US for your softy.

    I can only go by my own experience with ACM and it was good

    I did say in an earlier post that his shipping seems steep and to do the homework, I also have seen posts on other forums pointing to some having problems with them

    The link posted above was from 2006 and the bloke got his part in the end with an apology from ACM so I dont see what the problem is

    Not trying to defend the bloke in any way I have nothing to gain by doing so but as I said, Do your homework, I did and was happy with my decision

    In the latest Heavy Duty magazine (Issue 98) there is an article (page 12) that states ..." Vance & Hines: Local Prices Slashed"
    Maybe they are reacting to the dollar or internet sales.......TC
