Vance and Hines have numerous quality issues. Go with FP

I love my new V&H slip ons. Took about 45 mins. To install. I had a cosmetically defective muffler that I noticed about 3 days after I installed them. They sent me a new one within a week after I sent pics. I have only heard sound clips of the FP which sound and look awesome. I just did not feel like dropping 800 bucks.

The F/P True Duals have that look, make decent power and have a sound, man-oh-man a sound absolutely UNMATCHED by anything I have heard. Makes the 1700 sound like it should, a big bore V-Twin. If you go the route of a 2-1, stay away from the V&H 2-1 (I am saying this even tho that's what I have on my skoot). The preferable choice would be the F/P 2-1, a few key advantages over the V&H 2-1.

I had the Cobra Tri Ovals on my Voyager and now have the Freedom True Duals. The Cobra have a look to them but the sound was kinda Blaty to me, but like Ray said the Freedom Sound is unmatched, have friends with the V&H and they are ok but do not touch the Freedom sound. plus you can get the Freedom in black if that is what you like.
So my vote is for Freedom.....

The black FP true duals with chrome tips look awesome on my orange Vaq and the sound is better than anything else I have heard. Very pleased with them.

Hold off until you have the cash to buy what you really want.

I have the Vance and Hines slip ons. They give the bike a deeper sound but not louder.

I have a 2011 Vaq with the V&H slash cuts, love the sound and the look. Had a deputy turn around and follow me into the Kaw dealership to listen to them. Went inside and ordered them for his Voyager. Good bass note to them.

I just put the Vance and Hines on my '11 Vaquero and love the sound! I tried the 'drilled out' stock exhaust options, but was never happy with the exhaust tone. Glad I made the switch!
