Very pleased with the new pipes, beautifully constructed and they really compliment the angular design of the bike. It fires up with a low rumble now, barks hard under acceleration. Definitely can tell a difference in performance, pulls harder from all rpms, doesn't taper off at the high end like before, just rushes to redline. Much lighter as well, like a barbell was removed from the rear end. And the sound, oh my! It literally snarls, and it's impossible to keep a big grin off your face when you twist the throttle and the bike lunges forward with a growl!

Weighed the stock boat anchor, 24lbs vs 8lbs for the new cans and y-pipe, huge difference!
Those pipes are looking good. Definately suit the SD
I installed a set of those on my SD last year and they were the best SD purchase (other than the bike itself) I ever made...
They are loud but once I got used to them I absolutely love them. (Interestingly enough, they seem louder on the bike than 10 or 15 feet away) I thought they were too loud, but when I let me Buddy take it up and down the road a few times they aren't nearly as loud as the HD's that are EVERYWHERE in Wisconsin.. These aren't that bad at all...

And don't bother taking them off and fitting the baffle... Couldn't see ANY difference either way!
ENJOY
They look good them mate and they really suit the bike.
