Jardine vs. Vance and Hines full exhaust systems

[racefan29]

Just looking to get some opinions on the two systems. Performance, sound and quality are my main areas of concern. 

[TurkeyChicken]

I'm also interested in hearing the responses.

Performance wise they should be about the same. Sound will both be louder and deeper than stock, I think the jardine will be deeper than vance because of the bigger can. Jardine will look better than vance the vance has painted pipes that will rust within a year or so the jardine is fully chromed and shines nice may rust overtime  but not that quick. Jardine may be you better choice, the only reason I got my vance was I got it for 100 bucks

No chrome on the Jardine pipes just stainless steel

[commuterdude]

+1 the Jardine is all stainless header/tubes and aluminum can.   A very nice exhaust for our bikes.

[mach1]

ehh close enough

[CliffHanger]

Which full system is quieter?
I live in a fairly quiet neighbourhood...

I figure the low note of the Jardine may not be as annoying.

What about those insertable db-killers?  Do you sacrifice all of the power gains when those are installed?

Dont know about the inserts I didn't buy one but as long as you don't take off at about 9000rpm the jardine should be quite enough but your neighbours will still know your going for a ride. I can't vouch for the V&H as I don't think anyone in Aust has one I think I was the 1st or 2nd to import the Jardine from the states (I like to think first  )

[black and silver twin]

The V&H has equal length tubes (theoretically more power ) and is lighter than stock and Jardine. also v&h is cheaper but it will rust
im goin with V&H

[Weston]

I think the jardine is equall length tubes too though.

[jeremy_nash]

do equal length tubes reallymatter? I mean the stock headers are technicly equal length.  I would base my decision more on price, and will it have to be removed when you change your oil.  I have heard on here that some will require removal to access the oil filter
