Default It's a Grenades New year 👍🇺🇸👍

I'm the first on the block with these, I felt there was just too many guys with the "Short Shots" and "Big Radius".
The looks had to grow on me a at first, but the more I saw how unique they were I chose the V&H Grenades.
They are possibly some of the best, uniquely sounding exhaust out there. Deep Rich Booming Tone, However, let's just say they are Incredibly, obnoxiously, neighborhood shattering, "don't start them in the morning" LOUD !!!
I almost had regrets because now you literally have to plan on how and when you start these as to not wake the Dead.
Took me about 3 hours from off with the old, and install on these. It prob would have taken shorter time, but it was only me, Wifey was away and no one else to help at the time. A Helping hand is recommended especially when leveraging the larger Front pipe onto the exhaust opening/Flange.
My set up is the Pipes, Grenades Intake and an FP3 through my iPhone.
I picked the chrome with the black tips, simply for contrast and the ease to keep chrome shiny.
When it warms up a bit more here in NJ, I'll take it for an Auto-Tune session to optimize the Ride.

Did I mention they were LOUD ??

I'm dreaming of those exact pipes but I've heard the warning on loud from others. Do you regret getting them or does it make you like them better?

Very Good, When matched with the Grenades Map from V&H from the FP3, you're up to 80 MPH in no time, no closed throttle back firing/farting...V&H did their Homework, good set up

these pipes love high revs. low end torque is gone though, replaced by "BRWHHHAP BRWHHHAP!"
