Here are some terrible pictures. lol

I actually got the pipe this morning, it wasn't supposed to deliver until this Thursday or Friday but got it faster.... thumbs up to FED EX! HA!

I got home from work and couldn't wait to get it on. First, I friggin LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sound. It is definitely more mellow at idle (still louder than stock for sure) but man, when you give it throttle it WAKES UP THE BEAST!

I also installed some flush mount fuel gauge and gas cap. Love the way it makes the bike look. Can't see them all that well on these pics though.

Pipe looks good - real interested in seeing your dyno sheets. On another note - is your horn the DK horn they sell with their coil relocation kit? I am having a tough time finding a cover that fits the smaller horn and was wondering what cover you are using.

Glad you like the pro pipe. I just got mine on my road glide yesterday and couldnt be happier. I love the unique sound and tractor-like torque. Gets my sofa going much sooner now.

My horn is actually a Breakout horn. Its two parts, the horn and the cover. Of course, the chrome cover is not cheap. :/

When I rode it to the dyno guy, it felt so smooth. I said to him, call me crazy but I think I can already feel the smoother torque curve. It just feels more responsive through all the rpm ranges...and he hasnt even tuned it yet. He said with a 2:1, typically there is less vibration and it IS smoother....it probably wqsnt just in my head. Lol

So you ended up installing and riding before the retune and it didn't blow up?
Can I say "told you so" now?
