Hey Guys,
Well... the black systems are shipping as we speak, so expect them very soon!
Also, we threw a set on an F6B and put it on the dyno this morning. Made 103.6 HP to the wheel, not bad! Stock came in at 102 even, but we didn't expect much of an increase being that most of the HP robbing parts are ahead of the muffler.
Anyway, hope you enjoy it!
Thanks,
Dustin

OH LORDY what a sweet noise! I've never really been tempted by slip ons on my other bikes but it's incredible how these transform the character of the bike. Maybe "unleashes" is a more appropriate term...Quote:

You're supposed to use the stock chrome cover to hide the CATs, and you're set.
Thanks,
Dustin
Dustin......Better check again with your guy Mike as I did not fabricate any story about these covers...As I said on previous posts, look at the black F6B on your web-site photo and you will see a much cleaner look/fit that does not expose the welds/clamps that are on the pipes on my bike...I am not complaining, or have any issues with this, I merely brought it up when discussing the drone issue and baffle questions regarding aftermarket windshields that may add to the drone....I plan on keeping my pipes for now and can live with the drone, but am merely looking for, maybe, some help from you guys....I sent a PM to Dustin and I hope you get it..Regards.....
PM'dQuote:

No problem, sorry for the confusion!Quote:

I think it would look cool if the black pipes were designed to look smooth without the chrome covers. Like if the front of the slip on tapered down. I would toss the chrome cover.Quote:

Takes a while to do it as there are a few pieces that need to be removed before you can get to the one bolt that hold each of the heat shields in place. Well worth the effort. I posted some pics under a thread about Rush pipes. Would work just as well on the Cobras.Quote:

I removed the baffle from the longest pipe on both sides. It's not obnoxious but is louder than it was with the baffles all in. I have stock shield and wear a full face helmet so maybe that plays into me not hearing the infamous drone. It's in the30's here so I won't be riding for a lil bit.Quote:
