Ok guys i'm driving myself crazy trying to pick out a new exhaust setup for my blue 2011 stryker. Maybe it would help if any members could give there opinions on the choices i've narrowed it down to.

1) cobra speedster swept (black)

2) vance & hines big radius 2 into 2 (chrome or black)

3) vane & hines twin slash staggered (black)

Any opinions would be great wether you have any of the above on ur stryker or not. Or maybe you are like me and can't figure out which one would look or feel better on ur bike? Personally I like the look of the vance & hines big radius but have read many post's on here that say they don't look or fit right on the stryker and that in warm weather they stick out to far and can be uncomfortable? I also found a pic on here of a stryker with the vance & hines twin slash exhaust and it looks pretty cool as well. And the speedsters look pretty cool too. Just looking for help from my fellow stryker riders......ty

Everyone usually recommends the V&H 2 into 2 pipes but when I was getting ready to order my pipes there was over a month back order on them. I got the Cobra Swepts and love them added a fuel programmer to that and its got ALOT more pep than before.

I have the cobra swepts, cobra auto-tune and the cobra powrflo, hands down best mods I did, I have been talking with Tony Serano Designs over the past few weeks about a possible one off pipe setup, pretty excited about this possibility

Put all three names in a hat and choose one. ;D BTW-you really haven't narrowed it down to three, as those are the only choices for the Stryker.

Theirs a couple more than those three...

Cobra Dragsters
Cobra Slip-On
Cobra speedster Slash Downs
Cobra Tri Pro Boulevard
Rush Exhaust

All three options look great.
But I ruled out the V&H 2 into 2 becase they will get warm on your leg depending on your height.
I ruled out the Cobra Swepts cause they are very common... they look fantastic... but very common.
The Twin Staggered would be my first choice on that list, and they sound great. But not as great (IMHO) as these pounding beasts...

Just wow.

Hey that's my bike!

You Sir, have the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard on a Stryker. And without a tuner to boot!
Finished, end of story, done.

Instead of dropping all that cash on a full on exhaust, do what I did. Black cobra slip on and a cobra fuel manager. I removed the chrome exhaust tip and now it looks like an awesome drag exhaust. Plus it sounds just as great (my set up sounds exactly like the cobra USA movie sample). You will not be let down by the sound. I love rolling the throttle 100% and roaring down main street with the best of them. 8)

I'm very happy with my vance and hines twin slash. Super mean sounding but not too loud at higher speeds/idle.

Please please please check the welds on your Baffle inserts. After 12 miles of riding, my baffle welds broke on one of the inserts. You will be able to tell due to the sound change and less air(if air at all) coming through the exhaust pipe. VnH will send you replacement baffles with extra welds for free. Just need proof of purchase.

2 on here have had the same problem, out of maybe 7 who bought it.

Ty for the info....I plan on taking the baffles completely out if it's easy to do??

Very easy. Heatshield off, then take Allen Screw out and then pull it out. Use some WD40 to make it smoother pull out.
