Ace… Look Awesome!
Can I ask what part number you ordered and how much from JPCYCLES?
Thanks!

Ace those look real good! How do they sound and run compared to the SE II you had with the Big City baffles.

Ace is your rear pipe not aligned right? It looks like it should maybe rotate a little towards the back of the bike so that it aligns with the front pipe better. Maybe it's just the angle of the pic though but it looks just a little bit off where it doesn't look like it is parallel with the front pipe. Alsoit seems like if it was rotated a little more, then the rear pipe tip would extend out farther than the other one like in KawasakiMX6's pic.
Nice looking bike though!

i did re-align since the picture was taken..they will never look like kawasakimx6's pipes because they are different for some reason..it appears that hooker must have re-designed the pipes recently not only do mine look this way,but utz also just bought a set and he said they are the same as mine..i think the other guy bought their pipes form a guy on ebay(maybe he bought out an old stock from hooker) mine also have the o2 sensor bungs on them and i believe the other guys pipes dont have them..utz said he paid like 325 shipped right from hooker..i got ripped off from jpcycles for 453 bucks(and a 2 week wait)ill look for the part# later when i get back on my own computer..im repairing a pc for a friend right now and im on his...

Ok Ace, I thought they looked slightly unaligned (is that a word? [8D]). I actually like your little bit shorter pipes a little better, they seem to fit the Sportster look better.

they are loud..at idle they dont seem to be as loud as the big city thunders,but when you get on it they are way louder..i do notice a difference in power with these pipes..

I like the shorter look better than the long slash cut tips myself.

Ace, Those pipes look great! The slash cuts look great as well, but yours will drag much less in the corners.
