I have Vance & Hines on my old 2000 Vulcan 1500 and Harley riders are always impressed with the sound . I now ride a 2020 Indian Roadmaster and will also be installing the V&H on it
I had the Tri Ovals on my Voyager and the note does change after some miles on them but the V&h have a deeper note. but the Tri Ovals definable look better.
Well, on this particular bike engine (Kawasaki 1700), the Vance and Hines have a superior sound. That is not always the case. I bought those pipes based on this video, and they sound much better in person. Thanks for the video. P.S. Never let your Sams go to waste :)
I previously had Cobra slashcut slip ons on my Voyager, but when they wore out (rattling baffle in one, bad chrome on both), I've replaced them with Freedom Performance Liberty slip ons. Louder than the V&H, with a very nice deceleration tone (particularly after Ivanizing).
Believe it or not, this video was the one that convinced me to go with the Vance & Hines. Just recently installed them and they sound amazing. No regrets. The Cobras seem to have somewhat of an unpleasant pinging sound to them.
Of the two. I like the looks of the Cobras better but the sound quality of the Vance and Hines better than the Cobras looks. I must confess however that the stock sound of my 05 Vulcan classic just hit the perfect sweet spot for me.
Benjamin Fuller I couldn't decide for my VStar 1100. So I got a Cobra 2into1 HP, and it sounds better by the mile. Plus 2into1s add horse power, duals lose horse power.
There's fundamentally two types of sounds : AAAAARGH or GRUUUUMF. V & H are in the second category. In a way, the GRUUUUMF can be more louder but less disturbating, less agressive than the AAAAARGH. I do have V & H on a 2005 1600D, Nomad. The sound is trully great combined with a K & H air filter. So the choices here are Style or Sound ?
they both sound fantastic. the Tri-ovals are much better looking but the Vance and Hines sound much throatier also the vance and hines are available in Australia and the Tri-ovals are no longer
Aside from exhaust, why does vaquero seem much bigger than Nomad? I thought both are same dimensions, just bought Nomad myself but when i read the specs they both have almost identical dimensions
I think they both sound great ! The vaquero cought my eye about 2 months ago but most of the reviews I read stated they ran hot and aftermarket exhaust creates some kind of ecu issues and had to be flashed ? What is your experience this bike looks awesome
I vote Cobra !!!!!!!, the Vance and Hines sounds like, there are a few baffles in there. In another Video, I heard a set of Vance and they sounded deeper and had a nice idle. Might be the video camera mic...........Oh well ......
+Lab Insight Thanks for your question Lab. It was exactly that-install and go...easy! We did not tune the engine with either bikes and decel popping is not bad at all. Ride safe!
Cobra looks good, but Vance and Hines sounds better.
Vance and Hines way better.100% better..
You nailed it. Cobras for looks, V & H for sound. I have Cobras and they always sound tinny.
Yep. Totally agree.
The Cobra Tri Ovals look terrific. Undeniably better looking than the Vance & Hines dual rounds. Vance & Hines has sound that can't be beat.
Can't beat the look of the Cobra's, but the V&H's sound better. I'm glad I chose the V&H's!
I say the same
VANCE and HINES ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Question!!!
Thanks for the comments all. The sound on the Cobras do seem to have improved over time, however the Vance and Hines still sound throatier.
Do you have another channel, or you stop doing videos?
I have Vance & Hines on my old 2000 Vulcan 1500 and Harley riders are always impressed with the sound . I now ride a 2020 Indian Roadmaster and will also be installing the V&H on it
I like both the look AND the sound of the Vance and Hines better!
I had the Tri Ovals on my Voyager and the note does change after some miles on them but the V&h have a deeper note. but the Tri Ovals definable look better.
Its the V&H for me love that low deep growl
Both sound good!Hard to determine a winner.
Vance and Hines by a country mile!!

+Kenneth Bedwell Thanks for the comment Kenneth. Sams mention noted...
I like how my cobras sound. They were broken in when I got them. Used buy.
Tri-ovals look awesome, I really enjoyed them on the Victory Cross Country I demo'd!
Vance & Hines definitely
The Vance and Hines sound really good. The tri ovals look better.

V& H better than Cobra exhaust

Vance & Hines sounds much better, but I like the look of the Cobra Tri-Ovals!
I am liking the deep tones of the V&H. Cobra does have a good look for that Bike. I'm trying to make the same decision for my 01 Yamaha 1100 V-star.
Benjamin Fuller I couldn't decide for my VStar 1100. So I got a Cobra 2into1 HP, and it sounds better by the mile. Plus 2into1s add horse power, duals lose horse power.
Cobras not as throaty as I thought they'd be, they definitely look better but the Vance and Hines definitely sounds better.
I have the Cobras on my Vaquero and I was hoping for a different outcome but, the V&H sound deeper and throatier.
The cobra tri sounds tinny, but looks ten times better.
I like the V and H both in looks and sound
Vance and Hines. Not even close.

Awesome guys, that's cool and I like it
You can hear the deepness in Vance&Hines way over the cobra, the cobra looks really nice though😎
you made it further with that Sam Addams than I would have
V&H sound better Cobra look better! Nice Video, good job!
+Mr03fatboy Thanks for the kudos!
they both sound fantastic. the Tri-ovals are much better looking but the Vance and Hines sound much throatier also the vance and hines are available in Australia and the Tri-ovals are no longer
V&H hands down for sound. Cobra wins on style
It all depends on your preference, I like Vance and Hines better.
The cobra wins on looks, the vance wins on sound. Could really tell the difference when running them at the same time.
I like the colonels
Aside from exhaust, why does vaquero seem much bigger than Nomad? I thought both are same dimensions, just bought Nomad myself but when i read the specs they both have almost identical dimensions
Yea, looks like there's a slope at front.
Vans and Hines sounded deeper but didn't look to great . Put a shine 0n them , that will help .
thanks james! Your video really helped me!
Good job guys! I have a 2016 voyager. Trying to find slip ones for it. Vance and Hines don’t seem to be making them
I want to do true duals and a carburetor instead of fuel injection, ie stand alone ignition system and a cable throttle set up .
I think they both sound great ! The vaquero cought my eye about 2 months ago but most of the reviews I read stated they ran hot and aftermarket exhaust creates some kind of ecu issues and had to be flashed ? What is your experience this bike looks awesome
Vance and hines sound great!!
V&H the best! I want it.
The Cobra's are awesome looking but the vance and hines are much deeper throatier sounding pipes.
Cobra=looks with a sharper crack. Vance and Hines=deeper, throatier roar.
Cobras look fine but gotta say Vance and Hines sounds deep and throaty.
Vance and Hines
Why do both of them sound like there's something loose rattling around?
where did you find the tri ovals for the voyager i have a 2018 and cant seem to find anyone who carries them
It's been a year and a halfish - are you happy with the Cobra's or do you wish you'd have went with the V&H?
can you mount a camera mic behind the bikes and ride them around a bit? they both sound good depending on personal taste.
live, I would have to listen to them.
Do you have a other channel, where did you disappear to.
Is it just the way they're sitting or is the vaquero just that much bigger than the nomad?
Vance and Hines.
Would like to see a walk around of the Vaquero.
The V& H's have a deeper tone. The Cobras almost sound like the stock . Having a bike with stock exhaust also would help compare sounds. I Vote V&H
I agree (unfortunately!)
Any update videos? My tri-ovals sound deeper than that, I did buy them used.
Cobra looks nicer but the Vance and Hines sounds better to me.
hey, where did u get those saddle racks?
I vote Cobra !!!!!!!, the Vance and Hines sounds like, there are a few baffles in there. In another Video, I heard a set of Vance and they sounded deeper and had a nice idle. Might be the video camera mic...........Oh well ......
Vance & Hines wins, but cobra is a good system as well
both are good. bikes are cool.
The cobra sounded better while idling. VH better on the throttle
Love the look of the cobra's but the V&H sound better
They're both cute 😎🤙
Twin Slash Rounds all day.
cobras look awesome but they sound like a lifter tick!!
think the tri ovals looks really nice
Nice video...go point on letting the beer drain before messing with bikes!
Both should go and get V & H slash or run straight pipes.
By here Vance & Hines
Not only do the V&H sound better they make more power. The Cobra's do look better.
The Vance and Hines sound throatier.
Are those racks on the saddle bags after market?
Vance & Hines brother I'll take one of those
Add Big City Thunder Monster baffles and they will both sound better.
The cobra sounds like a VW
Any engine tuning required? Or just install and go? How's the decel popping?
+Lab Insight Thanks for your question Lab. It was exactly that-install and go...easy! We did not tune the engine with either bikes and decel popping is not bad at all. Ride safe!
Thanks James, likewise! Stay away from the bad pale ale.
Didn't think so, but always good to ask first.
still got the bike ? any complaints ?
Both great
Cobra looks better and sound better... plus they have better chrome.
Cobra looks good but sound rattly and hi while vans sound deeper and growl like.
Vance are over Cobra. Way over Cobra.
Left bike sounds like a moped
Cobras....I have them on a 1500 Kawasaki VOLCAN
Do both of these Vulcans have the 1700cc motor?
Yes they do.
Wow...the V&H sound much nicer
V&H for me...like the Cobras looks though...
Now i know i wont buy either one, thanks guys.
Take the baffles out
Is that Colonel Angus?
Vance and Hines sound better
V&H for sure
'
All my cruisee had vance and hines ..even the vtx 1800 that sounds like sawmachime, with vance ,sonds better.😊😊😂
i agree with keith brown
I'm sorry but both sound horrible.
I have a 2019 1700 Voyager with stock pipes. I think my stock pipes sound better than both of those.
Vance and Hines all day
Vance and Hines sounds like a lifter tic at idle. I'm not a fan of either.
