I have reviewed most if not all of the threads on exhaust mods and am about to make my final decision.
I have traditionally been a Vance and Hines man so my first thought was to put the Power Shots on (and from what I read it seems they also make the SE 16 so I am considering them as well)
However, once having the bike in my posession I kept looking it over and over and I became more and more convinced that the sweeping design of the stock pipes preserves the lines better than the razor sharp straight lines of the Power Shots. This made me want to consider the VMod that everyone talks about out here but I think it would be very troublesome for me to make happen as I am stationed in Singapore (Asia) so taking the pipes off, shipping them to USA, getting them back etc...might prove too difficult.
To make matters more difficult, today I met up with a fellow VRodder who had the SE 16 on and they sounded GREAT!!
My dealer here tells me that he can remove the baffles from the stock exhaust (even though it is illegal in Singapore). But I assume that this only changes the sound and would not give me any performance gain as with VH or SE or VMod. Am I right?
Any other thoughts that will allow me to get the Harley sound I want but keep the stock look AND not be able to take advantage of VMods??
Thanks.
