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 and are there other contributing factors that would come into either one working better

Thanks in advance fellas

V&H pipes appear to be designed more for looks than performance.
The 2-1 big radius have quite a mellow sound that's not overly loud, and will give you more Torque
compared to the 2-2's. The 2-2's do tend to be louder.
Just decide what you want most, looks, sound, performance, and go from there.

2-1 They look good. Not overly loud, more than likely won't attract the wrong kind of attention.
