Whats your Exhaust
« on: December 07, 2009, 06:40:07 PM »

What type of pipes are you running, What are you wanting in your exhaust ,is it just for looks , preformance ?

I like the looks of the HK strippers and American Classic for the 1300 and the classic for the 1800

For the 1800C:
Roadhouse Shorty, modified. I like a deep thump without obscenely loud volume (impossible to find for metrics -- everyone wants LOUD). I think the Jardine drags have the best sound for thr 1800, but they're too loud. I think the Vance & Hines BigShots are the best looking system for the 1800C.

This is another area where Harley Davidson has it won hands down. If you've ever listened to their different pipes, you've probably noticed that the ones that sound the best -- and H-D, as well as the aftermarket manufacturers, undeniably manufacture some VERY nice-sounding systems for the Harleys --  are definitely not the loudest.

I've never understood why a "street-legal" 40 cubic inch V-twin motorcycle has to be four times louder than a 400 cubic inch V-eight "not legal for highway use" racecar to be validated as a legitimate motorcycle. The best-sounding Honda I ever heard was Marigold's old 750 Shadow with the V&H LongShots. It wasn't a whole lot louder than stock, but it was nowhere near obnoxious, and it had the sweetest tone you've ever heard.

 :cool2: Thanks for the reply. I am looking for sound (loud isnt always better) and looks. I am thinking bout going to a biker ralley and asking everyone to fire up and take notes.

Make a meet 'n greet; quite a few of the guys & gals have BigShots. Some with stock baffles. Some with quiet baffles. Some with louder baffles. Some with no baffles.

I am running the HK sideburner.  Has a great deep sound.  Like them better than my HK 3" that I had before.

HardKrome sideburner 2 into 1! Look nice but will tell you that HardKrome's exhaust's heat shield is welded to the pipe and have problem with cracking.   ::)
