Compared to HD Drag pipes, right there with 'em (not those 11" pipes on 100CID motor though). Neighbor Child, will go deaf (that tiny #%*& plays drums anyways). Birds, what birds? The idiot in the infinity, still an idiot

Thanks sweatmachine, for pointing me to this thread. I have the 533-21M street version on order. Must stop riding over curbs.

How does the street sound BigDummy?

For you guys that have these, did you have to jet on your own or does the kit include jets for your configuration? I imagine stock airbox vs. k&n pods, street vs. track pipes will change requirements.

I called their tech line 817-834-0996 and was told the system does not come with jets (their website says it does). They also told me this system has been out about six months, has removable baffles for repacking, they've not received complaints about ground clearance, but have had comments about the noise level from the track version (go figure).

Their link for installation instructions doesn't work. It looks like the most difficult part is removing the current system. Is that about it?

Got a set on order.

I got mine thru new bonneville (love those guys and girls) and they did come with jets, pilots, shims and get this, AI plugs. however I installed larger pilots and Mains anyways and had a shim in already.
The manifold bolts are a pain, since nothing really fits the bottom bolts
but other than that, not a bad install.

What jets did you go with? D&D says jets won't change whether baffled or not. Are you running through the airbox or have you cut it?

I set mine up with the kit supplied from Newbonneville, I don't recall the main but the pilots are 45's. I removed the airbox and added an additional shim (2 shims per needle) at their suggestion and still have some minor mid-range issues that I'll eventually get set just right. There were three or four pages of instructions so it was simple even for an idiot like me.
