I have looked in earlier posts about this exhaust, but could find nothing.
Does anyone have any comments or remarks about the Hooker Fourbidden RS exhaust?
Thanks!

I picked up a set of them in May(Thanks Uncle Sam) and have been overall satisfied with them. The reasons I'm not Super-satisfied is I had an issue with the pipes touching the transfer case originally. I had to bend the lower stay outwards, use 2 washers between the muffler and the stay and put 2 sets of the Fel-Pro gaskets in the heads to fix the clearance issue. They are HOT!!! No Heatshields... I thought it wouldn't be an issue but it was. I wrapped the pipes with header wrap which toned down the excessive heat, but haven't been smart enough to figure a method to deflect the heat at the pipe bend at the head on the rear jug. Wasn't too much of an issue in upsate NY, but now that I live in Phoenix, AZ I REALLY notice the heat on the back of my right leg. That was the bad...

They Look cool...I haven't seen a set on any other bike since I got them. The sound is unique. Idle is a low,quieter, deep rumble, crack the throttle and they Roar. I had the Bike Dyno'd a few weeks ago and all standing around Rubber-Necked to see what was going on. The Operator asked what pipes were under the wrapping and mentioned that they were the best sounding pipes he has heard in a Long Time. They gave back some low end Oomph over the V&H Long Shots w/thunder monster baffles that I had on before them. Over all I would say buy a set as long as you don't pay retail for them. I sniped an auction for them and got them delivered for just under half price.
