No problem, sorry for the confusion!

You're supposed to use the stock chrome cover to hide the CATs, and you're set.

Thanks,

Use the stock chrome covers with the black pipes? Please clarify. I'm interested in a set of black pipes but I want everything black.

you need to reuse the shield that covers the catalytic converters, which Honda provides. We will be offering a black one sometime in the future as an accessory option.

Thanks,

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.

So here are the elusive black pipes. Not exactly what i was hoping for especially with the silver clamps and having to reuse the chrome heat shield. Hopefully Cobra will QUICKLY create and sell a matching heat shield. On a positive note i like the sound and finish :icon_wink:

No drone but it could be because i pulled out 1 of the baffles.

Just remove the heat shields and have them powder coated. I had mine done to match the black of my "Rush Racing" pipes and am very satisfied. 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.

Batwing...Looking for a possible solution to quiet the drone somewhat..Which baffle did you remove and is there any way to describe the sound change?? A little louder or lots louder or not much change???Any comments would be helpful as the drone sound is killing me at constant speeds..55-75mph...Thanks

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.
