    I just looked at the Blow Ex , I doubt there would be much difference if any. they look a bit shorter. would depend on the type of silencer they use. but with that type of pipe any silencer will kill power. just my two cents

    Sorry mate no direct experience but I agree with Krash. 
    They are an old fashioned stepped drag pipe just a bit bendy to look modern. 
    Something to note is that their  blurb and dyno charts focus on top end power over everyday rideability (is that a real word) which relies as much on early torque as later power. Depends if you like lots o revs and whether your bike’s cam suits that style of riding i.e. putting these pipes on say a twin cam cvo with it’s 255 torque cam wouldn’t be the best match.
    Might not concern you but I reckon they’ll be a bit of a cop magnet. I read they claim 103dB at 2,500 rpm (3 times louder than legal) and based on my experiments with V&H baffling, you’ll probably get 120dB under acceleration which is 5.6 times louder again. (applying the 3dB rule). 
    Still, looks might win.  I did fit V&H big radius to my CVO 110, loves the look but hated the noise and most of all, I could feel the drop in early torque performance.
