Can not help on the V & H's; I have never heard them on a Drifter. but I had Hard Chrome staggers 45's on my 1500 when I got it. Way too loud for me plus I did not like the look. I even put in the quite inserts. I went the Roadhouse 2 in 1 love it sound and look. Pulled the packing out. sound is very mellow and not too loud. Had it ceramic coated black by my powder coater. It looks great! I hope you are aware that Road House has closed it doors and their systems are getting harder to find. Should get one soon if you wish to go that way.

Hi all,
So I have a set of Vance and Hines on my 99 drifter now.
They sound great.
One of the things I want to end up doing is either having them painted or powder coated to go along with the no chrome look I am working on.
I have seen some road house pipes though and I really like the look with the serrated section and all.
Can anyone tell me from experience how they sound in comparison to the Vance and Hines?
I would like to retain the rumble but change the look.

Whichever I go with I am planning on having them blacked one way or the other but I just think the road house has that older era feel fitting the theme of the bike better than the Vance and Hines I currently have does.
IF the Road house sound as good though then I think I am going to sell these pipes and get the Roadhouse.

Also, I dont know if the previous owner had the bike set up for the new pipes or not after he had them installed, sort of like a fuel injected stage 2 I guess?
Is there anyway I can find that out?
Either way if and when I swap the pipes myself without a power commander or other such tool can I just go to a local bike shop and have them set up to run properly with the new pipes or is that a trip to the dealer?

Thanks again for any info,
I really appreciate it.
Lump
