Opinions on which exhaust...

Vance & Hines or Bubs?

 

I rode yamahamer's this weekend and he has Bubs, so I know what those sound like. I have only heard Vance & Hines on YouTube, but they sounded pretty sweet too.

 

What do you think?

I run Krome werks I like them,I think they are a little less loud than Bubs but its a toss up..They have different tips also,Here is a pic of mine,you can turn them down or sideways.

I love the sound of the Vance and Hines on youtube. I just can't figure out which model they are.

 

I sent a message to the guy, but I have'nt got an answer yet. Guess I'll have to go to a Harley dealer and try to figure out what they are...

[Yammer Dan]

On a 1st gen and it is same engine, Jardines sound GREAT!!

[Christo]

A Buddy of mine has the Barons on his, nice full sound, won't deafen you on those long rides, and when you throttle hard, they bark perfectly.

I can't even find where they make Vance & Hines for the Venture. Seems they make it for every model except the Venture.

I don't think they make them someone could have got some for a road king and modify them to fit?

Don't worry saturday you can hear alot of ventures and make a choice then.

[WIKD]

The V&H were probably a replacement for the Harley Road King. If stockers will work so will replacements.

 

I run the Barons with the baffles wrapped. Sounds great to me. Louder and deeper than the RK's fully done up but not obnoxous.

I have read that the BUB exhaust will work without rejetting. Is this true of all slip-ons? BUB is currently on backorder until September and I don't want to wait that long.

Any help appreciated.

I am looking for a pair of stock 2nd gen pipes if someone wants to part with them for a fair price. A curb jumped out when leaving a Wyoming gas station and dinged the right one.

[juggler]

This year I took off my BUB's slip ons and went back to stock. Now I am enjoying the peace and quiet while riding.

I have a set from a 1999 RST - Pristine Condition - what do you feel is a fair price?

 

New they are: $307 each side.

I have a pair of brand new Road King pipes, they were never run on a bike. $50 bucks if you are interested, thats what I paid for em. Let me know. Craig

I was just given a set of Bubs. I removed end caps and pulled the baffle out, repacked the baffle with new fiberglass insulation. Sounds great, the only time you really hear them is when your on the throttle. I put these on my RSTD.

Also have a RSV which I just put a set of Road House Slash cuts on. They are louder than the Bubs, put still not anoying.

 

EXHAUST CHOICES (that I am aware of)

BUBS (Sleepers or Complete System)

Road House (Slash or Fish Tall)

Khrome Werks (Slash, Turn Down/Out)

Barons (Multiple Options)

Harley Road King Muffler Conversion (Special Bracket Required)

Samsons

 

I think thats it.

[jkt69]

Most interested in some bass rumble, not anything obnoxious loud. Which of these are the least loud?

**Can not find Road House for the Venture. Seems every Yamaha model out, not the Venture though.

I think the Road Kings would be the least loud. They are hardly lounder that the stock pipes unless you drill them and still not loud at all.

[jkt69]

After much research and youtube listening I finally ordered my exhaust slip ons yesterday. I went with the Roadhouse MotoClassic. To me they sounded like exactly what I was looking for...a nice bass rumble and some noise when you get on it. Can't wait for them to get here.

 

I pulled up behind Yamahamer at a stop light and he told me it sounded like a pissed off sewing machine was coming up behind him.

 

If anyone has these pipes I hope you have some good things to say about them.

 

Thanks again.

Boomerbike,

I have two sets; one off a 99 and the other off my 06. You can have either set for packing and shipping charges. Send me a pm. I am sending you one in addition to this.
