Please state if you have Torque Loops or an issue with the dreaded drone. Would like to make this post a one stop for those of us looking for an aftermarket pipe slip-on exhaust. After taking poll please include feed back on your slip-ons pipes.

I have some "drone" with the Cobras but not bad enough to make me want to try something else...Just adjust the throttle a little at times when on highway and all is well for me....
Currently stock but looking...
Torq Master slip-ons for me. Originally experienced an annoying loud hum at highway speeds but I added the end baffles and that took care of that :clap2:. Overall, I'm happy with the pipes but I could be interested in something even better if it presents itself. One of the things I like the most about these TM Daytona pipes is the extended length and slash cut ends.
Black Cobras with Torq loopz…no drone all baffles in, sounds great but 4000 RPM + AWESOME ,
Stock, can't believe I am saying this, getting older I guess, but I don't mind the sound, or should I say, lack of it. It will never sound like my old Harley and that's ok. Love the sound of it winding out, love the sound of the radio at 65 mph, just love the bike,maybe I will switch exhaust some day, maybe I won't. It's all good.:yes:
Foggy Bottom Motor Werks, Honda mod mufflers with crossover vented disk. Little Red Riding Hood would say, "Just Right".:cheers:
I had Black Chrome Torqmaster "Daytona's". No drone with 2 baffles per pipe, bad drone with one baffle per pipe. I now have black satin Torqmaster inverted "King Snakes". No drone with 2 baffles per pipe, no drone after removing one per side??? :shrug: They are basically the same pipe just different styles and color, I don't get it but it's a fact......
Hello all,
Using the Rush slip ons with 4025B extended tips and 2.0" baffle. No Drone!!
Using a Shoei Neotec helmet the sound seemed to be amplified when helmet was closed. When chin bar was open, the exhaust was not amplified and sounded great!! :shrug:
After talking with Rush who were clueless about this happening.....I decided to remove the baffles and added a second layer of Techmat motorcycle exhaust packing. The sound for me is much better now. I am very happy with the quality of the exhaust system as well as the look and sound. :icon_biggrin:
Ride safe and enjoy the ride, 'riding'

My Torq Master King Snakes has never had the dreaded droan. Might be the extra length. Don't know why but they have just had a mellow sound since day one. They are just a bit louder than stock.

Been there, Done that!! Stock and staying!
I'm content with the OEM sound,,, The cadence of a 6 cylinder,,, any 6 cylinder,, really doesn't excite me, so no real need to go beyond a smooth purr,,, :icon_wink:
I installed TorqMasters
STOCK say what you want but you aint getten a great sound out of the F6. It's like putting AM radio on the best speakers out there just isn't happening :icon_doh:
I know what you're saying, Fast Eddie, and I agree, our 6's will never sound like a big v-twin or a Boss Hoss :yikes:. OTOH, it is possible to get an exhaust note that some might really like. How about a "tuned Porsche" sound? That can be like exhaust "music" to many of us, don't you think? Anyway, for those of us that just can't leave things alone, the search to make our ride "special" continues :icon_mrgreen:.
yeah hornblower I like the porche sounds did it with valk .:041:
For many? Perhaps,,,,
For this old Midwestern Country boy who, throughout his entire young adult life, was surrounded with V-8's, headers, mind-altering substances,,,, and whom also had a general lack of respect for ANY authority,,,,, anything with a 6 reminded me of an airplane,,, :shock:
Just put cobra sixes on....... I love the sound at idle and twisting the grip. Getting used to the resonance( not a fan of the word drone) . I thinks it's like any other " non v-twin" you will always have that humming sound when cruising down the road. I just can't go back to the stock pipes now I love the look and compliments I get with these pipes ! Nothing else like it out there .
I hear ya, Scotrod! I grew up in the Southeast and like you, I still love the sound of a big V8. The home of NASCAR is literally in my backyard :clap2:. Over the years though, I've had quite a few sport bikes and always added after market exhaust so I learned to appreciate the high-reving 4-cylinder sound and yes, even the tuned porsche sound :icon_biggrin:. My daily driver is a tuned GTI with AWE catback exhaust. It sounds pretty good too (for a 4-cylinder).
This thread being about slip-on exhaust systems, maybe I should mention that I just replaced my Torq Master Daytona pipes with black Rush pipes (2.5" baffles). Basically, I wanted to go with more black and less chrome which this accomplished. The tone is deeper with the Rush and the fit is considerably better. It sure is nice to have the shields close-fitting once again :icon_biggrin:.
gotta say im loving my monster ovals
:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes:
Another vote for Stock, at least for right now.
After the HD years, staying stock here...
staying stock too
The F6 is the only bike I've ever had where I plan on keeping the stock pipes. Every Harley I've owned in the last twenty years needed pipes to sound like a Harley (part of the Harley tax). I'm at the point where quiet, fast and stealth are for me.
It's all a matter of taste, but my Valkyrie sounds like a beast and gets a lot of attention from the non initiated Harley riders. Cobra 6 into 6 pipes, sounds better than any V-twinky any day. Aren't you guys bored with the kool aide drinking , me too sound of those V-twins? I hear another one go down the road and just yawn. Same ol s^%*, different day.:no:
As far as my F6B, I'm tempted to leave the sound alone. Kinda like the quiet for a change, but I'll probably spice it up soon.:icon_biggrin:
After having a few bikes with loud pipes I'm happy with the quiet sound of my F6.:icon_wink:
heard cobra no baffles was not impressed, and in no way did it sound like the vidoes I have heard on youtube, those obviously are enhanced sound clips, in fact I could barely hear the exhaust
Why mess with perfection, they look and sound good.
Stock and staying.
Went through a few bikes and changed the exhaust to make them louder. ( Bad azz stage)
"Loud pipes saves lives". There's truth in that, no doubt.
I bought this bike so the wife and I could talk going down the highway without needing communicators. (Old guy stage)
Probably staying stock. Last 2 bikes were really load. But the wife says the bike sounds like "the jetsons" lol!!!
Black ceramic Daytonas with Torq Loops; Jimmy is amazing :icon_cool:

No drone. The extra inserts are still in a bag.
I am stock as well. Not bothered about changing the sound, but the look of those black pipes is awesome. MSGT-R, that is one nice lookin ride .notworthy.
The last pair had a drone until putting in the extra inserts.
The Torq Loops made a definate difference at speed.
Now they sound like an El Camino. ;)
