Definitely more heat on my thigh with these pipes.

That's odd, it looks like your old pipes would make you feel the heat more than the new ones the way the back header pipe comes out.

BTW, send me the big hammer and duct tape, hopefully my pipes will come next week when I'm on vacation!

Re:Pro pipe is on 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I'm thinking the Shotguns were seperate pipes with almost non existant baffles. Not much back pressure and the exhaust just shot right out. The Pro pipe is a 2 into one with much more back pressure. More heat held there. Or I could be completely wrong again.

Makes sense now that you explained it. I'm a little slow sometimes but my Mom still loves me regardless.

Re:Pro pipe is on 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
So. If you ride your bike to get the packing and stuff the pipes will be too hot to work on when you get back. You guys didn't metion that in your posts. Kind of an important detail to leave out don't ya think?
