Best sounding Pipes 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
Hello to everyone!!!! I hope you are all doing very well. getting my bike out of storage at the end of the month and im looking for a new sound. I was seeing if anyone had any advise or positive input about what pipes to buy. Im looking for that deep vtwin rumble. I love the look of the samson warlord II cannons and ive heard good things about that company. Any advice?


Thanks

You might get some opinions, but overall, it's like finding the right woman. What I might think is cute or pretty you might not. Same thing with the sound. All you can do is go someplace that has a lot of the same bikes, with different pipes.... How about the Meet & Greet in May?

Best sounding is subjective. There's a thread here somewhere that has sound clips of different pipes. You can do a search too. It's been talked about many times.

I installed the Yamaha Speedstar long drag pipes on my '08. I like the looks of them and they do not interfere with the drain and fill plugs on the transfer case which is very convenient. The pipes have a nice sound but are quite loud though!

Vance & Hines Longshots on mine. Great look and even better sound, IMO. Search You Tube for what pipe you are interested in (i.e. Vance & Hines Road Star). Plenty of clips to help you with your decision.

mine has the Vance and Hines Powershots and i am truley happy with them but there are so many to choose from and so many different sounds that it is hard to say what is best. good luck on finding what you want.

I love my sampsons,running no baffles very loud,deep serious sound,dont know how performance could be better. Even if they didnt perforn I would still have them for the sound and rumble,and add more power with some more go fast stuff!!!

Go to furum search and type in "What do those pipes sound like" there are a few pipes to listen too.

Re:Best sounding Pipes 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
well you could go with the samsons, vance and hines, cobras etc.. thats all good and fine if you want a wussy pipe, but a mans' man pipe such as a hk sideburner well it separates the men from the boys.
I have the hk sideburner, muzzy, cobra propipe and stage 3 stocker. I like them all. I wish you well on your endeavor

I have Roadhouse Dooleys and love them. I road down to Daytona today behind another Road Star that had the Vance and Hines Longshots and they sounded great to me too. I just preferred the look AND sound of the Dooleys.

Get what YOU like.
