@OldMike
Since you seem to know a lot about exhausts and I have roughly 24 hrs to make decision - what do you think about Cobra El-Diablo 2-1 for my setup?
I've received a deal that is hard to pass on - I know it's not Bassani but...it would cost me 640$ (roughly 60% of price in Poland) - and it is ready to be installed - brand new, of course.

Others welcome to share their thoughts, of course.

It's a good exhaust, some here run it with good results in power looks and sound.
You can probably check withDurham man also about this exhaust.

So I should be alright then?
Money here plays big role but it's not deciding factor if it would be a crap exhaust like i.e. TBR.

@Durham man ?

I thought he had the Cobra, all the black ones look the same to me
Do a Cobra El Diablo search in this section for more info.

I've been thru all "Cobra/El/diablo" posts on this forum already
But it doesn't seem to be a very popular exhaust here.

Actual Cobra owners that didn't like it, what was the issue?

The El Diablo is a great exhaust. It will support a 140+whp 131 with a small dip in tip in tq. It sounds great too, not too loud. Price is great as well. I don't see what the big deal is on the plastic tappet cuffs? GM LS engines use a similar design, made of plastic that last for a couple hundred thousand miles. Mopar Gen3+ Hemis do as well. Could be those engines run cooler inside than the Harley, but their only purpose is to keep the lifters from rotating sideways on the cam. I mean, I can see them being a "while you're in there" item, but is it really an absolute necessity?
