They are a megaphone style slip on that is 6" at the exit! Bub now makes them. Pretty pricey since they acquired the rights to them.

i had a set on my 04. Still have them if you are looking for a cheap set, scratched up on the bottom tips.

they are loud, they sound ok not great, however they really impact TQ and HP. Once i took them off and re-dynoed the bike with a new set of slip ons. Picked up 3 HP and 5 ft/lbs of TQ.

kinda like running big oval slip ons with no baffles

They do look pretty cool, but the performance and apparently not sounding good would make look elsewhere.

Wow that looks kinda ridiculous, I imagine the first time a LEO pulled up behind you you'd be buying new mufflers or putting the stockers back on.

3 WHOLE HP and 5 lbs?

This word "impact" I don't think it means what you think it means. Lol.
