If you are on the fence about buying the Cobra 6 into 6 exhaust, jump on in! The sound is AWESOME! I installed them with the baffles removed.
The video in not the greatest quality, but hopefully the comparison helps

I like mine (baffles in) they are a little quieter than the stocker I drilled out but deeper Roar when u twist the grip!

Awesome video KJ, thanks! I'm definitely not on the fence anymore just saving up the funds.

That idle sound makes me smile.:icon_mrgreen:

Heh heh heh! Was that the same rider on both bikes?

Out on the road, the OEM equipped bike was ridden without blippin/revin', yet the Cobra bike was blippin'/revin'

Is there some kinda connection between the right grip and the Cobra's that doesn't exist with the OEM pipes? :icon_biggrin:

(Nah, just kidding! Sounds a lot quieter than I thought it might!)

It's required to "blip" with the Cobra's. :icon_lol: I didn't have a clear shot to run them like I did when I did the video with the stock exhaust. To many cars in my way.

Heh heh heh! I kinda figured that was the case!!! :icon_biggrin: :yes:

I'm trying very hard to behave myself on the 6,,, I'm pretty sure I'd be a blippin, zippin, and doing all kinds of things I probably shouldn't be doing if I 'could make it talk'!! :077:

Worse yet, for reasons I cannot disclose, I MUST ride like an Angel,,, for now,,,,

I did put about 100 miles on the bike yesterday and found with the baffles removed, TOO LOUD! Yea, I know, KJ former owner of a Harley Ultra with stage one kit says it's too loud. There is also a very noticeable loss of back compression without any baffles. That is to be expected since it's basically a straight pipe exhaust at the moment. However, the tone of the Cobra's are awesome.

So here is my plan. I'm going to put 1 baffle in each side, (not sure which of the 3 pipes to do this yet) and check the volume of the sound. If I don't like that, then I'll add another baffle to each side. I will find the right volume sooner or later.

One other note. I passed by a parked car while shifting into 3rd and set the car alarm off! Can you believe that.....a Goldwing.....sets off a car alarm in the open air? :shock: :icon_lol: Harley's got nothing on me! :icon_mrgreen:

When can we expect the 'black' versions?

They're getting Ceramic coated right now, so I'd say a couple weeks tops.

I took one baffle out on each side and that seems to be about right for me!

I put 2 back in each side. The one pipe I left the baffle out was the top longer pipe on each side. The top pipe sticks out father from the saddlebags so the sound won't resonate under the bags. I think this setup is right for me as well.
