Okay,... installations are done. Got the 6 2 6 pipes on and got speedohealer and gear indicator installed. Still need to calibrate the speedohealer values, but I'll do that once I have my Iphone holder installed so I can use the GPS function as an accurate reference.
I took it for a ride with the baffles in and it was much improved over stock and sounded very nice; I think that most people who like a little more growl would love it. The look and fit is not done justice by pics. I was worried, from seeing pics, that the chrome would look bombastic on the bike. That impression, I think, was because of the angle from which the pics I saw were taken. In reality, the setup looks lean because when you're standing up looking at the bike you don't see 3 pipes stacked. As was pointed out before, it looks really badass from the rear; this also is different than I've seen on pics. Simply put, the setup looks much better than you see on pics.
So, as I said, I took a test ride... I was not really exited about the results. The sound didn't give me the thrill that I remember getting from a valk with the triple Cobras years ago. So, out went the baffles and all hell broke loose when I cranked it The sound is hard to describe, but it sure justified me spending the money; it is a very deeeep sinister idle that wakes up into a roaring sabertooth tiger when you twist the throttle. Actually, it would probably scare away a sabertooth tiger. Needless to say... I love it!! I'm sure most of my fellow wingers will not, but some of you probably would. As the cobra guy put it in their demo clip,... "these pipes are BADASS"
