Vance & Hines full exhaust VS. Jardine full exhaust

[wilgarn]

Anyone have personal experience with both full systems ? What are the key differences between them ? Which is quieter ? Which flows better ? etc, etc, etc....

The Jardine is a straight through system with no protruding seams or joins to reduce flow. You can't go too wrong with the Jardine.

I have both systems.  I have used both on the track, and there is no difference in power that I can tell.  The V&H has a bit throatier sound, although at full throttle they both are pretty loud.  The Jardine is much easier to live with because of drain and filter access, and it won't rust.  I would buy the Jardine if I had to choose between the two, although I like the sound of the V&H a little better.

Are you talking about the newer Jardine system, or the old small-can one?

Wow thanks for the great responses guys, it seems like it would be worthe the extra $100 for the Jardine system for sure now. I mean, how can you beat rust proof stainless and aluminum. Not to mention the whole drop/loosen the exhaust for an oil change deal. I could see where that may wear out the threads in the aluminum head over time especially if your are like me and like to tighten things til they brake    Really the only reason I was considering the V&H was price, so.... Now thats solved

I have an older system (headers are not stainless) but the can is bigger than the V&H.  Did they make the can even bigger?  I already drag the front of the muffler on the track at full lean.

Here's the current setup. I don't think I've ever knowingly seen a photo of the older one to compare it to, though I've seen it listed for sale.

Same muffler as the older systems, but the upgrade to the SS headers is a nice touch.
