Do the big shots have heat shields? Big shots LONG are actually an OK set of pipes to tune.

If they have heat shields... you went to a 1909 era tuning shop. 2014 era shops use riv nuts to tune with and that leaves NO holes. I NEVER recommend ANY dealer for tunes with the exception, so far, of Gails HD in KC. Wildcat sounds like a bunch of hacks.

I can weld and have welders I will be fixing them unfortunatly. I have to take the pipes off the bike to fix them. not a big deal but an aggrevation.

Might be easier to remove the baffles and take them to a welding shop for repair.

They do have sheilds. which I thought they would drill under the sheild and install the port. I havent had the sheilds off yet so not sure if they did that along with the big holes in the baffles or what.
