Vaquero or Voyager owners with aftermarket exhaust

illiwtan · 07-30-2011, 12:06 PM

I recently traded my '08 Nomad for a new Vaquero and would like your opinions on aftermarket exhaust for the 1700's. I had Vance and Hines on my Nomad and loved it. I had no issues with the pipes cracking or breaking. I normally search Youtube for videos to get an idea of what the exhaust looks and sounds like but have found very little on the 1700. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Many people have the vance and hines and are happy with them. I have roadhouse and love the pipes. IMPO i think they're a little heavier gauge metal and sound great.

You're in luck. The 1700 factory exhaust allows you to use slip-on mufflers, you don't have to replace the entire system unless you really want to.

Is it possible to do a debaffle on the 1700's?

BTW, what's a Vaquero Voyager?

Sorry. I meant Vaquero or Voyager. I guess the 1700 Nomad should be included too because it has dual exhaust like the Voyager and Vaquero.

I just put on cobra tri-ovals on my nomad and love them. They are not super loud. Deep sound at idle, good bark when I give it gas, and most important (to me) you can hear yourself think on the highway. Plus a bonus they look great.
