The Big Radius pipes came on my 2010 Heritage I bought used. Loved the sound. Little loud. Loved starting the thing in confined spaces like my little garage - might have lost some hearing. Felt like I was climbing on top of a WW II fighter plane and starting it.
Wow this video popped up out of nowhere. I bought this 2019 one month after this video was made. Love my Vance and Hines! Great bike. Thanks again Hank
Love the sound, really opens it up

I like the sound too. It actually wasn't too loud and I don't favor overly loud exhausts. Not sure the neighbors would agree. good to hear from you!
Vance and Hines Big Radius has a deeper, throaty sound. It sounds like it breathes easier! It will be a nice addition to my UL!

it is not legal to use on the streets in EU as I understood. A friend of mine received already a penalty in The Netherlands and Germany. Maybe in the US they don't care
Vance & Hines all the way they sound great!! I just ordered them for my 2020 street glide.
Yeah I’m gonna have to go with the Vance & Hines!

I prefer the factory pipes. I don't have enough hearing left for the louder pipes. I'm saving what I have for as long as I can. I really like those bikes.

I’ve got a feeling someday I’ll have a Heritage Classic.
Is there really any question as to which exhaust sounds better, and looks so much better?
Had a set on my Sporty and have a spare set that I took off after buying for my 2002 Train. They’re ground thumpers, sound great but if you’re thinking of laying down miles these will fatigue you pretty bad after a full day. Earplugs are a wise decision for long trips. Also, you’re curve will move to the right, naturally.
Vances and Hines all the way. Look and sounds rocks!

Sure like to know if you have a fuel control installed as well.
I don't think you can really appreciate just how loud the big radius pipes are this way. They look freaking cool as hell, but I heard the Big Radius in person...way too loud for me, I mean dang man!
I just bought a 2021 fatboy and after 200miles the front disk rotar is banging around and Harley says it's normal, do you guys have any ones that don't bang around?
The. Big radius look so good and the deep throaty pulse sounds great

Yup!
I installed these on my 21SGS they sound amazing but you can ride the bike quiet too. Very good product and I think they look like they belong on the bike. Some will disagree but most feel me.
I honestly preferred the Big Radius 2-2 sound and look, the louder bark on start up and the rumble while idle sounded great, my 2009 Heritage came with the long fish tail pipes, they sounded great but the crossover pipe came way outside the frame, and burnt the hell out of my leg, had to remove them, got a cheap set of FDR short pipes, sound is ok, but always looking for a better set...lol
V&H all day everyday here . They sound like a Volkswagen until you at least do a stage one upgrade , LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES .

Nice comparison. I would have liked the throttle to be opened slight more to get a better feel of the sound.

Stock. I have 5 Harley's, the 1st 4 with aftermarket exhaust. My '20 Street Glide I left stock except for the 114 air cleaner assembly. I didn't want the added noise. Hard to tell in a video, but some V&H sound good and some just sound loud and cheap. The best way to tell if an exhaust sounds great or just loud is to ride on a bike behind a bike that has the exhaust you're thinking of buying. I have some V&H Short Shots on a 1200 Sportster that sound better when I added the 3db quieter baffles. YMMV.

i have a 2022 heritage softail classic, would the vance and hines big radius void the warranty? Where to order from?

It’s possible. I would call the head of your dealer’s service department AND Harley Customer Care in Milwaukee to get a definitive answer. Apparently it can vary by case and by dealership. Order from whoever gives you the best price including tax and shipping, and remember, some online businesses will not charge you sales tax. Good luck!
It might be my cheap crummy pixel phone but the Vince muffler seem to be a little bit tinny at times. I did like the sound but it's probably harder to compare this way as opposed to actually being there. For my electric line I love my Harley-Davidson mufflers they're not standard but they're Harley-Davidson upgrades. I love the look I love the sound I guess I just love my bike. Keep it up Tripp Even if what you're showcasing doesn't apply to my bike I like watching your videos.

Nope that’s Vance and Hines Pipes; on my 2017 Heritage a set of slip ons were so tinny that it gave me headaches. I recommend Reinhart pipes; they are a deeper tone and somewhat louder overall. Keep in mind to get better results from the slip ons a high flow air intake and tune is required for Softail models as only the 2018 and up fatbob contains a catalyst in the head pipe. Touring models contain a catalyst as well.

Can you run big radius exhaust on a stock tune? Stock intake stock everything just want to run the big radius for the looks and the sound. Not too interested in any more performance really
