I'm about to order a set of Vance & Hines Q series double barrel exhaust for the sporty. Has anybody used these? Any input on the pipes at all? From what I understand there the next best thing to the 2 into 1 pipe for performance. How are they for loud?
The Q series double barrel are the same pipes as the Screaming Eagle 16 gauge double barrel pipes. Vance and Hines made these for Harley.
I have them on my bike and love them. They aren't quite as loud as the Big Shot Staggered. But they do get louder over time though.
I hope this helps,

Not sure if this helps, but I had V&H Straigh Shots on my 02 XLC and I loved the sound. With the SE AC and a re-jet, it was one fun bike to ride!!
I do think Q baffles are the quiet ones and I'm not sure if you can change them out. Need to verify w/ V&H.
Here is a Youtube video I found...

Here is a Straightshot video w/ reg baffles (not the Q series).
