Just as it says...

Shortys or straightshot slipons...?

Yeah the slipons are cheaper, but I like the shortshots staggered for looks.

Anyone know if there's a performance difference?

How bout y'all's preference?

having had both slip ons on a 1200c and the shorts on a 883c and my now 1200n what does that say

the short shots are LOUD and the slipons are LOud.
More chance for air leaks as well on the slipons due to the flange joint to the header pipe done properly no problems, short shots one piece pipes which is primarily what i wanted for winter riding and they look awesome.
Slipons more classic look and more suited i think to the base, L and C models
short shots more hot rod and suited to the R and the N models
that what think anyways but either look good

awesome thanks.

I've got the base 883, but I think the blue with the shortys will look real sharp.

Thanks!

Cory i will try and get you a sound bite of the the Short Shots on my 1200 so you can get the idea of how loud they are to help in the choice
