Torq Master Exhaust

[Darkknight]

I can't wait any longer.
I was convinced I wanted the cobra 6X2. Cobra couldn't give exact dates for release and a black version was even further out. What to do with the clamp cover if I waited for the black unit was another question.

I like the look of these King Snake pipes from Torq Master. It's a toss up between the Snakes and the Daytonas. Jimmy answered my questions about the clamp cover. He can build the pipes now! The Black ones are special order. This just feels right.

I'm in Ct so I have to wait for the sun to come up on the west coast before I can call. Jimmy will hear from me and my Visa card this AM!

From what I saw, I really believe that you will be more than pleased with these pipes. I am having a heck of a time not going down and buying a set for my F6B. My dealer has both chrome and black in stock!

Damn, I broke down and bought a set this morning. I went with the chrome version for my red Deluxe. Had the dealer install and rode it home. I really like the sound. It is like a small block V8 engine with Flowmasters installed. I could still hear the radio at 80 mph so they are not obnoxiously loud. I did leave the baffles in and that makes for the perfect sound for my taste.

This is the first thing I have bought for the F6B that has no purpose other than making noise. I swore I was only going to purchase functional items for this motorcycle. Oh well, you only live once!

What is the cost for these pipes in black?

What is the cost for these pipes in black?

The black chrome pipes are $699 at Wingstuff. The chrome is $499 same source and that is the price I paid locally. I think the process costs more and you may get some matching shields with the black chrome. With the chrome, the stock exhaust shields are used.

I have put about a hundred or so miles on the new pipes and love them. However, one of the things that makes them cool also makes them dangerous. The edges of the pipes pertruding back past the saddlebags are SHARP. I have a nice gash in my right shin to prove it. Be careful out there, there are hidden dangers everywhere. LOL.

Did you decide on the King Snake or Daytonas? what are you going to do about the exhaust covers?

I like the Inverted King Snakes done in black nickel! Kinda matches the slope of the rear saddlebags... I have just emailed Wingstuff to see if it is possible to order them in black nickel since they don't offer this option on their website.

I ordered the Daytonas... just an update:

I spoke to Jimmy at torqmaster yesterday(6/27/13). I ordered the black pipes on 6/6 and was still waiting yesterday. They were sent back for recoat. Jimmy said he didn't like them so he sent them back and will call me today to tell me where in the process they are and when I might expect them.

So there are 2 ways to think about this...
1)It's a new process and there will be bumps in the road. Do I want to be the Guinea Pig and pay big dollars to do it?
2)Jimmy won't let anything but the best pass his inspection so we will be satisfied down the road.

Well, we are going to pay big dollars for black pipes from any manufacturer.
I'm taking the leap of faith and going with option #2 at this point. Betting the Jimmy is a perfectionist and will deliver a super quality product.

I'll update this post after I hear what's going on.

I ordered a set of black chrome Daytona's with front shields as well on 6-19. I feel fairly confident after talking with Jimmy on the phone several times that he will deliver us a quality product. I also believe if for some reason down the road we have quality issues that he will stand behind his product (providing that we have taken care of them). This is just a gut feeling from several conversations and I obviously have no factual history to back this up but I've ordered tons of bike parts from many different vendors and have a good feeling about this guy. Time will tell.......I hope I don't have to wait a month for my pipes, I'm foaming at the mouth here! Bike only has 300 miles on it and I already have a scary amount of stuff on the way. Can't wait to start modding this beast! Giddy
