    I love how graphs show you fuck all, they dont even list what pipes they are only a make! If i were to choose my pipes again i'd go with the D&D Bobcats, they are 2 into 1, look good, sound good and performance is great!

    cheap = danmoto
    good = d&d bobcat
    looks = whatever floats your boat

    Looking at the danmoto's collector is its weak point, dosnt look like it has proper transition into the main pipe/muffler area.

     You want louder!!

    I have Vance & Hines side shots and I had to get the baffles put in.........but you'll need the performance commander with these pipes

    personally I loved the sound of my short shots but they do hurt power.
    the best pipe for power atm is the patriot defender it doesn't sound loud at idle but it has deep note and its loud when you are into it.
    its good for being quiet past cops, they are also cheap (around $450 delivered).

    great transition into the main pipe! I like it. How are they for ground clearance? And i'm sure you could hook up a choke cable to that flap for quick on the do adjustments.

     I've got one of the original patriot defender 2-1 pipe which came with braided line and choke lever hooked up to the exhaust flap. Works really well and bike runs great with it. Mine's a fat boy though.

    Looks like Hammer will soon be testing the V&H Short Shots as well. Will be interesting to see how they perform.

    Hammer Performance have been dyno testing a few pipes on their 1250 sportster this year.

    Here's a handy link, the V&H Short Shots test is there as well.

    Thanks slaps. I'd like to see an overlap of all those readouts.
