Re:Best sounding Pipes 2 Years, 2 Months ago

I've found there are two things to look for in pipes... volume and tone. I've heard LOUD but with a sharp or tinny tone. I've heard quiet but with a weak choked sound. I currently have Bub's Big Willys with the 2" baffle (the baffle is pretty much just a tube with scallops) and they have a nice tone but louder than I like. I've listened to a lot of pipes on Youtube and manufacturers sites and the best thing that I have heard (for me) is the RoadHouse Classic 2 into 1. Deep, throaty tone and just loud enough to be noticed.
This is just my just my take on it. Some like bloody ears loud; not me.
Here is a link to the Classics with a quiet baffle and the louder performance baffle.

Oh boy! You started it now! It's just like oil, everybody has a different idea. If you like Samsons, you can hear my Warlord Slashers here along with a bunch of others. They sound about like the cannons, just got a different tip. And of course I'm not predjudiced.   |

I like the deep tone of my HardKrome SideBurners. However, this is a very subjective question to answer. Kinda like opinions on oil, riding temp, best bike color, etc.
Once you settle on a tone another consideration is which pipe "looks" best with your sled, if that matters to ya. Duals, short, long, 2 into 1, chrome, black, wrapped, drilled, tips...

Am also looking and strongly considering Cobra 2 into 1 Power Pro HP. Appears to be fewer choices for the 08 and newer fuel injected models.  |

You can still use any pipe you like, but you may have to weld in a o2 sensor bung.

I'm runnin' Speedstar long slash cuts. Like billd says; they don't get in the way of checking/servicing the transfer case oil. And yes, Virginia, they're LOUD!

I've tried 3. I went Stage I with stock exhaust, which was okay. Then I got some Santee tapered tip mufflered pipes... looked like Sportser mufflers. They sounded okay. Now, I'm running V&H 2 into 1 Pro-Pipes, and I really don't much care for the sound at all, but the extra oomph of the 2 into 1 can be felt right in the seat, so I don't want to change them out. I like that extra power!
They were used and had the HD tip, but I think maybe different baffling might improve their sound, just haven't looked into it yet. |
