Any suggestions for exhaust for VRSCA

I just bought a V-Rod from a friend, and must admit that the standard exhaust is a touch tame. I rode a Fat Boy with a V&H stage 1, and have to admit that the sound was superb.

Does anybody have any suggestions about exhausts that give the V-Rod a lot more character, aurally, and what should I expect budget wise.

I am ideally looking for something to create that rich v-twin sound, though I realise that is quite a challenge for the v-rod.

Suggesions and advice will be appreciated.

Supertrapp do a smart pipe that you can adjust with discs, makes a great noise on it.

Supertrapp are pretty good, but I don't like their looks. Take a look at

Snot the greatest shot but looks better than anything I seen on one with a standard pipe. You could change the bike? ;)

Re: Any suggestions for exhaust for VRSCA

Thanks for the suggestions.
I am thinking that the Supertrapp route is the most convenient, as the other stuff is stateside.
Anybody have experience of the Vance & Hines 16 Gauge for the Vrod

Pretty simply getting stuff from the states, I got my supertrapps from the states for cost reasons. Can be cheaper, but will likely have to pay duty on them. Tis not a lot of work.

I suspect the supertrapps are better performance wise, they are beleived to be.

Re: Any suggestions for exhaust for VRSCA

Any idea how import duty is calculated? I just had to pay it on some bars I bought. They were still cheaper than here but I'd like to know for future reference so I can work out what I'm paying before I commit to buying.

Not exactly, but it has been asked many times, do a search and you should find lots on it. It not what you need ask in virtual rally, sorted. This vrod bit can be a bit quiet you know. ;)
