From looking up the company, it seems they mostly specialise in customs and drag racing. Never heard of them before seeing this --

And am quite interested, as it looks different..

Anyone ever seen one/used one?

What's sound a build quality like? I'm not bothered about power gains or the like!

Cheers in advance

Mainly specalise in the Harley type market and are an integral part of the Stage 1 and 2 tuning kits that Harley owners get Easily recogniseable with the deep throaty unristricted roar. Usually a very good quality system with deep chrome Have been into the Jap aftermarket for a few years as well

Got it fitted, link pipe is slightly different size so it is blowing a fair bit, will be getting some putty in there and then will get some sound up.

Build quality seems pretty good, feels sturdy, there is a join at the bottom of the can which doesn't sit completely flush, but isn't too noticeable...heres some pics...

Sounds pretty good, quite a deep tone, so am happy, can't comment on how loud it is, as the blow makes it seem louder!

Am very pleased with how it looks, and Vanceand Hines is such a small name over here. The guy I bought this off seems to be selling alot of them, and they are all USA imports. Mine is rather annoying as all the bolts and allen keys don't fit my UK mm tools!

Does sound awesome, pretty quiet on idle, but when it's going it pretty rediculous - this could just be becuase of the blow though!
