Ok guys, I have a 2008 VTX 1300R. I'm having pipes put on tomorrow. I want a little more power with lots of noise. I have narrowed it down to the Vance and Hines Big shots. I will be installing saddlebags next week. Basically are the Big Shots the pipes to go with for the noise and power and will the length be ok with saddlebags? Rob
I have Bigshots, they're plenty low for saddlebags, and the length is a matter of preference. I like them, they sound good and actually have a bit of a "snap" to them. I put the quiet baffle in them over winter to quiet them down for the early mornings leaving home, but they still sound good, just a little lower note "throaty" and a bit quieter (less of a crack). Performance wise, they with the BAK is very noticeable in power and responsiveness.
On an R, I would go with the longest pipes you can get for the look of the long swept pipe. Goes well with the R IMO. the shorter pipes look good on the C's. Sportier look. Sound difference isn't very drastic.

Just put Big Shots ( with quiet baffles ) on my S. Love them. Will update pic tomorrow. BTW not sure why they call them quiet LOL. Under acceration they deep and loud but at cruise not that loud.
have any of you done the pair valve mod or scar mod to adjust the fuel flow to compensate for the airflow change?
i have big shots coming tomorrow for my 08 1300 and i ordered a kn high flow airfilter and im thinking i need to adust the fuel with either re jetting or one of the other fuel mods??????what are the advantages of the pair valve and scar mods??????/
oh ya almost forgot i love a loud like does anyone know where i can buy those big city monster baffles for the big shots?????
like i said i want her loud,,,anyone who dont like them can ride infront of me
