Re:BIG GROWL PIPES=BIG MISTAKE 3 Years ago  
At one time I thought about getting some of those Big Growls but didn't want 2 1/4" pipes. I didn't figure they'd be tuned right for the low speeds these engines run at. I'm glad now I passed on them. If anyone's interested, I'm working on making my own slip-ons for under $100. If things work out I can post some info when I get them done.

Those were on my bike when I bought it. They actually sounded pretty good. But they discolored easily and need a ton of maintenance to keep them looking good. When I replaced my exhaust I started to put them on eBay and then looked at them closer and said ummm guess I'll throw them away.

Re:BIG GROWL PIPES=BIG MISTAKE 3 Years ago  
I bought the big growl pipes from ebay about a month ago with the whole purpose of wrapping them. I did not want to pay a ton of money just to wrap the pipes. Yes they did not bolt right up but I got them to fit good with a little filing. As for the sound, they are loud and obnoxious. IMO if you want loud and don't care about looks get them. I would not recommend getting them for looks.

Re:BIG GROWL PIPES=BIG MISTAKE 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
So...what's verdict folks...? I've got my eyes on a set, yeah I know they're a bit on the less expensive side and I've enquired with Khromewerks (who are on summer break!).

Now my R* is due a set of mufflers for sure-the constant weather riding is affecting the chrome badly so, a set of Long Rifles (and any advice there) or something else the Clinic can suggest? Overseas here too so go easy on the suggestions...!
