Hey all, as much as I've read here about V&H and others' pipes, not much has been written about Straight Shots. Does anyone have experiences with them, good or bad?
My bike--'04 Wide Glide, I'm thinking of jetting CV carb or going Mikuni, and high flow intake, but nothing major to the motor. Would like the torque curve to be pretty steady throughout.
Are the SS pipes a good choice, or are they too much like drag pipes (i.e., reversion, loss of power)? I like V&H fit and finish, but will go with Big Shots Staggered or some slip-ons to keep some power.

Thanks for any and all thoughts.

Joe

Can any of you guys provide some insights? Thanks!!

I've got a set on my '96 softail and like them just fine. Sound great and seem to perform as good or better than the SE slip ons I had before.

I was considering switching to a 2-1 like the pro-pipe to go along with some additional mods I'm planning. Everyone says the 2-1 will perform better because of "scavenge" or whatever. However, I checked the nightrider.com site's exhaust comparison and found the straight shots ranked pretty high for perfomance. Beat out a lot of the 2-1's too.
