    The pipes don't sound too loud from your clip, but what's your take on them?
    Your clip is very different than the TBR clip, as expected.
    Can you summarize your findings?
    Thanks for taking the time to share. Not many do that.

    Very good job on that, VP8 . I really liked that you provided different views for sound comparison. It's hard to tell for sure but it seems the drone problem, like we notice from many of the aftermarket exhaust systems, is not so bad with these. What's it like cruising at highway speeds?

    Thanks for taking the time VP8, nice video. I was surprised at how nice the exhaust sounded in the "off the line" clips. I was a little disheartened after reading about your install difficulties, but your video may have sold them for me....

    Any acceleration or gas mileage performance difference?

    Toy, maybe a little faster acceleration. It's still early to determine mph changes. I just installed them.

    Elroy, it was a tougher install than expected... but it became easier after I made all my mistakes on the one side.

    Hornblower, Thanks for the compliment. I can hear the pipes at freeway speeds and I can still hear my stereo with a volume setting of 15.

    Is the sound you hear at freeway speed a nice exhaust note sound or is it a very resonant and annoying hum?

    I don't know BB. One owner posted yesterday on my YouTube video that he just installed these TBR pipes on his 2015 Goldwing, and he loves the sound of the pipes at idle, however he hears a pretty bad droning noise when the bike reaches above 2K RPM. At freeway speeds he commented it practically drives him crazy.

    For me, the sound is consistent of a race car. But these are my very first aftermarket pipes... and the low hum produced at freeway speeds doesn't bother me.
