Aftermarket Exhaust Upgrade

[Big TP]

What year is your bike? The 2015 and 16 have an exhaust that sounds pretty good. You can hear it at hwy speeds but not too loud.

Had a 15, now a 13. Just a slight noticeable difference. A take off set from a 15 to 17 would be fine..

Taxfree,
Yeah, That sounds like a 911S Turbo

How would you compare the fit and finish to the OEM?

I had both - the Cobra and the TBR. Both are heavier than stock. The TBR has a slightly better fit and finish than the Cobra but both fall short of the exact perfect fit of OEM. They both have heavy chromed steel cases. The Cobra baffles are mild steel and will show rust at the outlets. The TBR has a T409 stainless baffle which will surface rust and also show rust at the exhaust outlets. Neither has the T304 stainless cases that the OEM has. After having both, I am glad I was able to sell them and go back to the 2001-2017 GL1800 GoldWing silencers. They are absolutely quiet while cruising and allow the engine to howl when ridden aggressively.

Good analysis. Point-"Don't fix what ain't broken?"

I had a very minor rust issue at the outlets at first...Drilled a small 1/8" drain hole under the pipe where the clamps are...Been on the bike now almost 5 riding seasons here in Michigan, and not one spot of rust anywhere, pipes look like new and sound just fine for me.....Cobra 6-2-6's....Regards and ride safe

Your drilled hole doesn’t stop the mild steel case and baffle from rusting. They still rust and corrode inside. Hence the reason the OEM uses the much more expensive t304 non magnetic stainless steel case and baffle. Not only does it last longer but it weighs less too.

taxfree = are you getting another B ?
What happened to all the "goodies" on your B the "texting" woman destroyed? You had some nice upgrades!

Yep I will soon as my future ex wife becomes my ex. I took all the goodies off, the adjuster said "take whatever you want we're totalling it". Helibars, RDL, MP3, INNOVV camera system etc.

What year and color would you be looking for?
