They are quite user friendly with respect to installation and sound great. I'm sure almost anybody could install this system in just a couple hours. There is a significant difference going from OEM exhaust to the Big shots, but that's the goal, right? I had a very slight wrinkle in one of the heat shields but Vance & Hines was right on the bit and replaced it without hesitation. Another awesome company to deal with.

The stock pipes sound good, but these are MUCH better. Only gripe is that the heat shield hits the mount for the floorboard. Need to grind a little off the mount.

The only hitch was that the heat shield touched the running board mount when they got warm Easy fix: ground out a bit off the mount. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 06/05/11 by Keith Pruett (kppdsp) from londonderry, NH, for a 2007 1800 VTX1800T (Tourer) wrote: These pipes are awesome!! Love the sound, nice deep rumble. No tuning adjustments made or apparently necessary. Absolutely make sure to leave the heatshields loose when installing into heads. And one of the four rear bracket bolts needs to go in before bracket is tightened to frame or you will never get it in. Don't forget the crush gaskets. Recommend highly.

(4 stars) reviewed on 03/20/11 by Allen Wise (aw2055989) from Derby, KS, United States, for a 2005 Green / Black 1800 VTX1800R (Retro) wrote: Sound good and installation wasn't too hard. Might help if you have a second pair of hands when you go to set them on the bike but I did it myself and it just takes some patience. Not the Harley sound if that is what you are after, but a nice deep throaty sound that blows away the stock Honda sound. I revved it up beside a buddys Harley 1300 and I like the sound of mine better. ONE WORD OF CAUTION - these DO NOT come with new crush gaskets. Order them from the website, they are like $16. I didn't know that and had to run to the Honda dealer for some and paid $24. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Reduced performance of the stock pipes. I did a K&N intake and Power Commander and Dyno tune with PC link and it sucks on my 1800. The sound is great but I miss my stock pipes.

Put them on by myself, didn't get any instructions and that made it a lot of fun, but got them on with a little help from the little women right at the end (small fingers). Fired the bike up and wow, finally have a bike that sounds as tough as it looks! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Not overly loud but a nice rumble at cruising speed that leaves no doubt your nearby and sound really nice when you twist the thottle hard. Install is better done by two people and it does take a little work to get it lined up just right but not too difficult and the results are well worth the effort!
