Re:IDENTIFYING PIPES 2 Weeks ago  
kaisayson ,heres the info from the Road Burner site and ithink you won the prize,they look to be my pipes and they even describe the end caps on pipes as billet AL with chrome plating which mine are along with spiral louvered core which i beleieve means type baffles with perfectly describes the diffrent look of my baffles ,and mine are 2.5" which the road Burners are too.

But they give no email address in which to send pic's of my pipes and baffle too for 100% verifiaction .

But i will call the phone # in site to see if they will cooperate becasue they only seem to cater to dealers directly but i will have to see on that one.

Here's the info on what seem to be my pipe pasted below from their site.

If you look at my earlier post, I thought they looked like some type of Hard Krome pipes, but everyone kept saying "Cobra"!

Re:IDENTIFYING PIPES 2 Weeks ago  
Hi Bob,yes i did see your suggestion they may be HK's and i did go to the HK site yo check that out and they make pipes that look close to mine but not in 2.5" with chrome plated billet AL end caps.

I also contactd HK and sent pics of the pipes & baffles on my bike and they said they are not mfg's d by them.

Gee,they would not even try to help me out very likely knowing they mfg them and tell me to maybe chk out the Road Burner site becasue i asked for suggestions of who to ask next.

I told them they were not cobra's /samson's/vance hines/and not not HK's and even though HK mfg'd them they didnt even tryp to ehlp.

By far cobra was the most helpfull even calling me baqck 2x along with mult emails trying to help me out,not other mfg tried that hard at all.

So if i decide to buy new pipes that kind of service when i didnt evcen have cobra pipes is worth noting for sure.

BTW,i just got confimation from a Road Burner dealer (road Burners email on wesie doesnt work/is NG) that the my Road Burner pipes are the only ones they sell that they dont mfg a quiter baffle for and i am SOL.

Its either reinstall the somewhat ugly stock pipes reducing perf and also have to recalibrate the carb back or close to stock specs or spend another $500-$700 for a new set of pipes with optional baffles that are quiter .

Unless maybe i could find a custom Bike exhaust mfg that could build me a set of quiter custom baffles using the current ones as a model for maybe $100-$150.

Do you oranyone else know a custom bike exhaust builder o could contact to ask about building custom baffles?

Thanks...Scott

i have the bub big willies that look close, without the tips. I measured the diameter and went to the auto store and built a baffle from exhaust pipe. See thunder baffles in the tech section.
