I got them installed finally and it sounds good. The heat shields were a bitch to get on but nothing too terrible.

Good luck with your decision.

They seem to be of good quality but time will tell. Definately have some serious bark! I need to throw a fender on the *** end and take it for a ride now.

Yeah that's it. Take the word of someone who doesn't have 'em over someone who does.
Some people just wanna hear/repeat the negatives.

Love the apes.
Keep doin' what you're doin', and trust your instincts. They seem pretty good so far.
I love my Cobras and get TONS of compliments on their sound.
Yes ... they set off car alarms!
