Reinhart or Vance and Hines 2 into 1

[Mena-Nix]

I own a 2009 Street Bob and looking to upgrade the exhaust. I've heard the Reinhart 2 into 1 and love the deep growl and look. I don't know anyone that has heard the vance and Hines "Big Radius" exhaust. Can anyone give a little advise? The look of the Big radius so far has the winning vote but sound is also important.

I haven't heard a V&H pipe yet that sounded evenly remotely good on a Harley. They all sound like burned out glass packs from 70's. The Rineharts, on the other hand, have a deep sound to them. In my opinion, much more suited for a Harley. The struggle with todays bikes is finding an exhaust that doesn't sound like an old JD tractor with burned out mufflers. I think the OLD (pre EPA) Screaming Eagles sound better than the V&H. Anyway, it's your ear that has to listen to them every time you ride, so whatever you like is the pipe to buy.

I have the Rinehart on my Lowrider and love it. I've got the baffle out of it now and I'm going to try and wrap it with exhaust packing to try and get the sound a little deeper. If I where to get a 2-1 again, I'd probably get the D&D fatcat just becuase I like the way it looks.

I had a Rinehart 2-1 on my SG... other people said they liked the sound, but from on the bike it sounded like an old honda 750 at times, drove me nutz. I dumped it for a thunderheader.
