Seriously this is the loudest thing I've owned since my Triumph chop with open headers, however I fire it up at 5:00 AM and idle out of the neighborhood and have yet to hear a complaint.(It helps that there are a half dozen Harleys on my block)I had a bit of discoloration before I painted and wrapped mine if you get the black it's a pretty simple thing to shoot a coat of high heat paint on them every once in awhile.My only complaint so far is the limited cornering clearance It can hit pretty hard just below the right foot peg I wouldn't install one without making a skid plate for that.

I took it with a simple digital camera (Fuji Finepix S700). The mic doesn't really capture the beauty of the exhaust.

I'll try to find a better camera and get a second round of a/v

 

nice, looks great on your bike.
I just installed a thunderheader on a fat bob today too.
black ceramic on a vivid black bob.
they do sound great.
I had everybody that lives in my condo complex looking out the windows trying to figure out what the racket was haha

 

Man that sounds nice. It's still hard to tell what the loudness is, but I think I could live with it if I drove it careful. Gave the wife the ol' "loud pipes save lives, the deer will hear me coming, i never see a deer with the beemer because of the loud muffler" story. The 2 into 1's don't seem as obnoxious as twin drag pipes. Still hope to see/hear one in person sometime this year so I can judge the loudness factor. When it's recorded, it's hard to judge the loudness.

HELL i HAVE BEEN SCRAPING PIPES N FRAME SINCE i GOT BOB. The stock pipes scraped a lot when me n the ole lady would be cutting a hard turn, I took them off and put on a nice used set of V & H straightshots, they are a lot smalled, still scrape from time to time. It would be nice to come up with a skid plate, not much inclined in that endeavour. If you make one make two and I will glady pay you tuesday for a skid plate today.

I can get a set of those pipes on my birthday, been a LONG time since I looked forward to a BD

 

Thanks for the clips, having heard them in person its hart to catch the beauty of the tone they have, I think you started something

 

All I did was take a piece of the old stock heat shields and cut it to size and clamp it in place over where it hit.That way there's an extra layer of metal to grind through before
there's a hole in my pipe.

 

that skid plate looks like a great idea. if i didnt install my heat shields i would try that.

 

Okay stagolee, I can't fight it anymore. I have to ask... Who are the ladies in your avatar?

 

Yeah, like the skid plate, That I can do, thanks
