#406512 B1gRed (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 99 RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Hi all. Does anyone have the Hard Krome RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes? I'd like to know how you like the tone and also how loud they are (pretty subjective I know). I have cobra pipes now (on the bike when I got it) but they are pretty loud. I'm looking for something with a lower tone and not as loud unless I open it up. I don't want to upset the neighbors with my coming and going. I also like the look of the HK 2 into 1 Side Burners but I'm hearing they are probably just as loud as the pipes I have now (if not louder). Thanks in advance dave   Logged     2009 Road Star Danny Gray Big Seat Rivco Risers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #406531 BTM.

The 2 3/4 dia DD's straight pipes would be better, The Cobra Power shots Straight pipes sound much better if you want a deeper tone than install a set of Thunder Monster Baffles there around $ 85.00 I like the rear exhaust head pipe as it sweep around the transfer case showing more chrome instead of a cover up such as what HardKhromes DD's will do... just a thought! shhhhh... don't tell anyone!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4339 Re:RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have 3" RoadBurners, which are cousins of HardKrome pipes. The res-tec muffler cartridge system is great, IMO. They have a good bark when you get into the gas, but settle down to a nice medium growl when cruising. I can get out past the neighbors at 4am without waking every dog around. I would recommend them. One thing though. If you get a wild hair and want to pull the baffles and have them loud for some special occasion, it isn't going to work. The res-tec cartridge system isn't like a normal baffle. Pull these and the pipes sound like crap.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #406558 hammersly (User) Just a few more minuets Expert Boarder Posts: 430 Re:RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have had my HK 3" RES TEC on the scooter now going on 4 years. Noting bad to say at all. Intact I get regular compliments on the looks and sound. They are +1 in my book and I reccomend them especially if you think the DD big straights are loud. These really quiet down when just cursing but will bark pretty good if you crack the throttle.

I like what I'm hearing about the sound. Fireman, Nice looking pipes. I looked them up on the Roadburner site. http://roadburner.com/motorcycle-exhaust.php?rbID=72 I didn't see any mention of Res-Tec type of technology for these pipes that you mention you have. Am I looking at the wrong product or did you add something to your pipes after you installed them? I like the look. I didn't see the black ceramic in the HKs.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/08/05 10:35 By B1gRed.   2009 Road Star Danny Gray Big Seat Rivco Risers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #406653 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 2969 Re:RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   dschock wrote: Thanks for all the replies.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4339 Re:RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Mine are 3" Road Pro's. I guess they don't make them any more. They do have the Res-Tec type cartridge system, but RoadBurner calls it SLT.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/08/05 20:38 By fireman922.   Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #406978 B1gRed (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 99 Re:RES-TEC 3 Inch Drag Pipes 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thanks for the suggestions.
