You'll get better performance with the 2 into 1 Pro-Pipe guaranteed. A lot of guys like the 2 into 2 look and the Bigshots do perform alright, but have a low end torque dip between 2500 & 3500 rpm.

I've got the Bigshots on my 95" Dyna. They work fine, but I'm kinda looking at going to a 2 into 1 pipe to get the most out of my build in the future.

The Bigshots have a really good sound to them also.

You mean you're breaking down and getting 2-1's? Now I've heard everything!

The Pro-Pipe is an awesome pipe, great finish and performance, but I don't like the sound quite as much as a Thunderheader. Although I haven't heard them on 95" builds, so it should be interesting to see/hear.

I went from V&H short shots to a V&H 2 into 1 pro pipe. the pro pipe makes more tourque, so that is the first think you need to ask yourself, "show or go?" I went with the pro pipe cause I now have a fresh underground proformance 95" build. Puts an all new meaning to the name, "Nightrain" cause she sure does pull like one now.

Have a Heritage and Wide Glide in the barn. Used to have a Deuce. The Softails had the V&H BBS's while the Wide Glide has the V&H PP HS.

Both pipes are outstanding. Would give the looks edge to the BSS's. In every other measure the V&H 2-1 gets the nod. I recently upgraded the Heritage to a 95" build and a six speed... took off the BSS's and replaced them with the PP's I like so much on the WG.

The 2-1 performance edge is noticeable. The 2-1 looks don't have quite the BSS's robust look, but they've grown with me over time. Additionally, anyone in the know about pipes, knows a 2-1 system is serious.

But here's the key reason I'm loyal to the V&H ProPipe HS. A deliciously low and deep exhaust note. Milwaukee knows this is what appeals as well, specifically tuning their new '07 stock exhausts to deliver low frequency music.

See I never found the Pro-Pipes rumble to be deep enough on the 88" bikes (like I said, 95" I'm sure is a different story!) Every person I met that put Pro-Pipes on their bikes (which were all 88"s), were loud, but had a crackle that I didn't like. But like I said, they are some excellent pipes in regards to looks and finish.

Oh, actually I like the PP 2-1 better on the 88" WG than the 95" FL. Deeper and more mellow, while the 95" has a more robust and powerful tone. For sure, many would prefer the latter. Nice having both. I'm even hesitant to go 95" on the WG for it is so perfect now.

The PP has a crack to it under acceleration, but at idle and cruise it is pure bliss. The TH's also have the nice low deep sound. Other reasons have me opting for the PP's.
