I have them on my Bike, Great sounding Exhaust,you cannot go wrong with them, You will Love them! I did not rejet the Carb, added the airbox with the pipes and no problems at all. I was told you do not have to if she is not back firing, I spoke with a Tech at the Dealer about this.

I have those on my bike also. I agree that the sound is great. I've had several Harley owners tell me it sounds just like a Harley when they hear it coming. The only issue I've had is I've scraped the lower pipe on the ground a couple times in a 2-up situation if I go into a turn hard. Gotta watch out for that.

I'll put my $0.02 in as well and agree with what everyone has said about these pipes. I picked up mine on eBay and love them. They are a HUGE sound improvement over stock, although anything would!

I didn't rejet and was running the stock airbox. Like everyone will tell you, until you change out the stock airbox, you don't need to worry about your jetting. Also, I noticed a more "responsive" throttle when I put them on, likely due to a less restrictive exhaust.

I've also scraped the pipe while riding 2-up, freaks my wife out crazy! I'm tightening up the stock spring some to see if I can take some of that out. That failing, a replacement spring will be in order.

All-in-all, great starter exhaust!!
