Actually it is surprisingly not that loud. Sounds great IMO. I think I am about done, some things I want to do performance wise still but in no hurry, bike runs like a raped ape already.

I like it. How is it in the twisties? I had an '09 Street Glide and found it to be a bit top heavy, always felt like I was on top of the bike.

Bruh, I'm not a switchback fan, but what you've done here is originality. Strong work!

That Akro looks like a power losing *****, but they are so cool looking! I wish they made more options for HD.

Looks good man

Does descent, I came from a road racing background, so I really through my body into turns and it does quite well.

Looks good man

you would think it would, but this pipe actually performs very well on a dyno run. I haven't got mine done yet but will post up when I do.
