Thanks for the welcome!
I've been riding a set of 2 1/2" Hard Kromes for
about 2 yrs now and yes they can be very loud "IF"
i open her up however if i ease the throttle and ride
her normally, i could ride right by a cop car without
any problems.
Quick funny anecdote, a cop car once pulled right by me at
a red light and at the corner of my eye i could make out the
officer looking right at me so i turned around and made eye
contact with him "trying not to look too guilty"

and
nodded my head and said hi, so he pulls down his window...
I'm imagining the worst right now, Keep in mind the PATA PATA
PATA PATA PATA of my pipes facing his window

!"NICE BIKE!"
he says to me "love the pipes, what are they, Vance and Hines?"
"No" I say, "they're Hard Kromes" he gives me a thumbs up, a smirk
and drives off, i almost threw up on my gas tank... no BS this
really happened!
Ok, back to business, I've looked into the exile pipes and they
will fit basically any Harley... i guess my question is, will
American pipes fit on metrics with some tinkering of course?
I'm in love with these style of pipes, i really want them to fit!
