Great sound, had a little trouble getting one of the slip on tips to slide on, but nothing that I couldn't overcome with a little motor oil to lube it some. Installed on 07 Honda sabre, ran good without jetting the carbs, but will jet it to remove the baffles later. My parents can hear me from a quarter mile away while indoors. I replaced the stock pipes with these, now I get the attention of car drivers, makes the ride much safer. Do buy the gaskets, they are not included. Everything else is spot on. Packaged securely.
The stock exhaust are barely audible. For some folks, that's fine. The cobras give the bike a nice throaty sound without being obnoxious. Haven't rejetted the carbs yet, but may have to. Also like the fact you can easily pull the baffles for even more sound if wanted.
I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW EASY TO INSTALL. WHEN I STARTED THE BIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE SOUND WAS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED, AWESOME. I TOOK THE BIKE FOR A RIDE AND SEE NO NEED FOR A JET KIT. NO NEED TO REMOVE BAFFLES ON THESE PIPES. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THESE YEARS AGO.
Extremely disappointed with the sound of these pipes!!! My 07 Sabre sounded like I mower with a piece of water pipe for the exhaust. I like Cobra exhaust......but this system was horrible!!! I already boxed the pipes up and will try to sell them!
