Ill trade my stock pipes for a Victory Clown bike if someones willing to throw in some cash.

 

Did the same thing a couple months ago traded in my 12 FLHTK for the 14 and removed the V&H put the originals back on. $500 is worth storing them for later.

 

my 99 with the old SE Perf slip-ons (the good ones) was getting harder and harder to get inspected in my state due to the "race use only" stamp. one indy near me went out of business because of the fines for inspecting / passing bikes with "illegal" exhaust. When I talked to the dealer about trading it in he said "well, technically, it's not legal for highway use so……" so I said, "I have the stock mufflers at home" and he said "OK, let's talk". my state is really strict about noise - inspections have noise meters, cops have noise meters, at least they realize that non-stock doesn't always mean non-compliance and they test with meters. At least they don't put sniffers up the exhaust to measure the emissions.

 

Harrell better idea you can send them to American custom exhaust at www.americancustom.com or call them at 1-800-323-9145 and they will gut them out take the cat out and they will sound great about 1 week turnaround for about$150.00. or they will send you a pair they have already fixed a trade yours in.
they are very well made mufflers and they wil sound as well as any you can buy for
500 to 600 dollars maybe sound better. I got a set at biketoberfest and had them installed in about 30 min and really like them.

 

lose 'em

 

Keep them. What are you riding that wouldn't allow you to wrap them in a towel and stap them on for the ride back.

 

When I replace my stock pipes I clean them thoroughly and then carefully wrap them and put them in a box for safe storage. Then I place the box in a safe place.

After a few years I'll find myself searching for some old part and will stumble upon the box. I then open it and inspect the stored pipes, and onces satisfied they are in the exact condition I left them, I close the box. I repeat this every few years.

Don't do what I do. I know that I will never put them back on the bike and storing them is a waste of time and space. If you can't find someone to give them to, sell them for scarp or better yet, just throw them away!

 

It depends on how long plan to keep the bike.

When I bought my bike I knew it would not be sold or traded, so I have kept the original pieces (pipes, carb, tanks, fenders). I ran some python pipes for a couple of years, but got tired of the noise, and about 5 years ago the stock pipes went back on.

My bike is 25 years old now and I am glad I have all the OEM stuff in my shed.

Someday my grandson will be glad it can be brought back to original...

 

keep all your original parts i have an attic full some day you never know right

 

I would keep them. I keep all the old stuff...
