Found these online a couple weeks ago and was wondering if anyone has seen or heard anything about em. Interesting idea if it works. Not bad looking and the price isn't bad either.

I kinda like the black on black touring model

 

I just put one on my 07 street glide and it sounds killer and looks good kind of a thunder header meets Rinehart sound.... sweet

 

good looking pipes

 

Agreed. They look pretty cool. Have no direct knowledge of quality etc. but you already have one good report.

Got a great deal on these black Patriots ($425 delivered,) adjusted the sound valve to about 50% open.

 

I use the Patriot pipes with my 127" ultima, good flow when valve is open and kind of "quiet" when closed. By a car choke cable for easy adjustment of sound level.

 

Baggers did a positive test on them. I especially like the decibel chart so you can see what they actually do from closed to open.
