New pipes on order 1 Year, 9 Months ago  
Been looking hard for some good sounding pipes that would capture the deep mellow sound of a large V-Twin without the need of major modifications of carb and breather and won't break the bank. I was interested in the V&H Powershots until I ran across these cobra slip PBS. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks

If you still have the stock air filter assembly installed, you can put aftermarket pipes on with little or no changes. You will need to block or remove the AIS to keep them from popping, but other than that you should be good. I've never been a fan of Cobra slip-ons (sorry those who run them). Look on Ebay. I just saw a nice new HK/Roadburner set of 2 into 1 headers for $380 or so.

I think these Cobra slip-ons are what another guy on here has. He's replacing them partly because they are too loud.

Or you can just do a stage 3 to your stock pipes. IMO, those can be some of the sweetest sounding pipes on a Roadie.

Sounds good to me and run good too. BTW I have the same blue wash bucket! I also have a one car garage but no old ford truck in it just a bunch of tools and two bikes.

I have these on my bike. Loud enough under throttle, but tolerable while cruising at normal throttle. I don't think they're too loud. For looks I'd rather have a set of dual fishtails though.

I've got the Powershots. They were installed by the PO. I like the look as well as the sound. I don't think they are TOO loud, but if I were to leave the house at 7am on a Saturday morning it would be a quick start and go and easy on the throttle for the neighbours' sake.

Running the Vance and Hines longshots and liking them a whole lot! can run quiet when riding by a policeman through a town with a noise ordinance.......but loud enough to set off a car alarm when noones looking! lol...imho......the perfect compliment to a very worthy machine!
