I think the V&H I found is a different one.It's the drag type.


Avoid the 'sidewinder' pipe as you'll have to change your right footpeg mounts and the rear brake lever.

I love the MAC pipe. They have two 4-1 systems. One is a megaphone and one is a canister. The canister is the better of the two. The Kerker is actually discontinued and you will have to buy a remaining stock and is much louder than the MAC. The V&H is louder yet. If you are looking for a bike that you want to ride for longer periods of time the MAC is the best. My commute to and from work was one hour each way when I had my Kerker on the bike, the drone of the pipe was in my head for an hour after I got of the bike. With my MAC the bike performs better in the mid range (45-75MPH) than the Kerker which performed a bit better around 100+MPH. But most importantly I can hear myself think while I am riding, and my ass isn't quivering when I get off the bike like it was with the Kerker. Not to mention that the Kerker is twice as expensive as the MAC. My brother has a V&H on his 750 and it is MUCH louder than my 1100 was with the MAC.


Don't know about the MAC but the Kerker has a 2 1/4" collector and the V&H has a 2" collector which explains the power difference. The Kerker is great for upper RPM's and the V&H is better for midrange which is where we really spend most of our time. :)
