    G'day guys,

    I'vd  recently got myself a 2010 softail and am looking at the Vance & Hines big radius pipes and was wondering if there are any benefits between the 2 to 2  and the 2 to 1 pipes. Is one better than the other?  I have a stage 1 air filter on the bike and S/E tuner. Do you guys recommend a set of pipes over the other?

    Thanks in advance fellas

    Had both, now 2x2 , crisper angrier note in my opinion, 2x1 was deeper and droned somewhat, matter of choice for looks, i dont think either do much for power but could stand corrected as usual :)

    I have never had the 2x1 but the 2x2 have a great note and bark like a bitch when you crack the throttle, but yet can be quiet enough to cruise by the fuzz if you have to. :)

    2 into 2 sound great

    no issues with the coppers so far

     I have had both on my Deluxe. The V&H 2-2 Staggered were loud and the V&H Pro Chrome 2-1 had a very deep sound. With the motor set-up you have now go with the 2-2, but if you ever upgarde your motor thats were the 2-1 come into their own.

    Here on the Gold Coast just about every 2nd bikes got V&H Big Radius pipes.

    Before spending your coin concider stepping outside the box.

    Just a suggestion mate

     Best you can get of the shelf, don't get to hung up on performance its a hog they are for cruising but you do need to change the stock pipes they are lame, I'd run 2 to 2 for the real vtwin sound 2 to 1 sound doesn't float my boat. And yes just stick with v and h they look good sound good and are not to pricey.
