Looking @ getting some new pipes. I like the look of the Sweeps more w/the curve @ the ned but you can't remove the baffles. The Storms are straight cut, which is kinda plain but you CAN remove the baffles. I'm concerned if I get the Sweeps that they won't be loud enough & there will be nothing I can do about it. Which do you prefer & why? Thanks.

 

I have the Sweeps...trust me these suckers are loud enough. I love em because they don't get quieter even when the exhaust is hot. Turn up yer speakers !!! I was takin it easy on the driveby and all the popping are fireworks it was 4th of July.

I'd seen the first vid but not the other 1. Thanks. It's really hard for me to judge exhaust sounds(depth of sound, true pitch & volume) from videos. What do the baffles look like? How do they compare to running just headers, if you've ever heard that?

 

The baffles are big and open with the small louvers in a spiral design. They actually create enough backpressure to help with the top end. Open headers are tiny and raspy....these baffles create a really deep bass rumble.. Trust me you hear an open set of pipes compared to these in person you will choose the Firesweeps. The videos are very very close to what it actually sounds like.

 

Is there any problem w/passenger pegs? I think you've got me sold on them.

 

I don't have any on mine but the exhaust is short enough that I don't see it being a problem.

These pipes also come in black but I dig the chrome ones. Trust me after install this will be you.....

 

I'll be going w/the black ones. Best price I've found is $506. I'll keep looking for a better price.

 

Ordered black FireSweeps today. If I don't like them I'm driving to Cottage Grove, MN & getting my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will I be fine running them w/Xied's (13.8 AFR) or better off w/a PC V? I don't want to run the PC V if I have to do a lot of crazy programming. I had 1 on my last bike but they had a MAP for my exact set-up so it was pretty plug-n-play w/out a bunch of BS involved. I already have the Xied's & a PC V so I won't need to purchase them.

 

The ied's will be ok...I had some on mine and it ran well. But the power pro just makes it run sooo good. I think if you already have a PC-V ya may wanna look into trying to take advantage of the fine tuning if possible. Either way you won't be disappointed...but I'll be waiting for you with a beer in one hand and another beer in the other haha.

 

Y'all have Shiner Bock up there???? I'll research the PC-V some more. I read somewhere it's kinda a PITA to get it dialed in.
