Hi BC

The pipes look the dogs !! , but any chance that they will be avaliable here in the U.K ?, and I would imagine getting rid of near on 30 pounds alone would improve performance ;-), so no tune required for the install then?, a pity you did not fire up your T`bird in the vid ..

Sweet piece of kit

It's kinda funny he doesn't show you what a monumental pain in the ass it is to get the clamps secured for the heat shield install. I left the heat shield off the left side as I completely lost my patience. I put the right side shield on only after I removed the muffler, closed the clamps a bit, then slid the muffler thru the heat shield and then tightend everything up.

System is a bit loud for my taste, but it is a very nice low rumble at idle. I am concerned that my mufflers are starting to yellow after only a couple days of riding.

Are you serious? Yellowing already? Do you have the download yet? Do you consider most harleys to loud?? Any performance feedback?

Yes I am serious.
I have the TORS tune.
I do think many Harleys are too loud.
Seems to have a bit more grunt in the low end.

Oh man that's not good... Please continue to update us as you put more miles with the pipes.

Are they yellowing by the S bend, or the muffler area????

I'll have mine early next week. I'll relay my install experience as well as any changes in the pipes as well.
