I love my propipe. I never thought I would buy a 2-1 pipe because of the way they looked but actually like the way the propipe look. The sound is a deep throaty sound. It's actually quiet at idle and you can keep the sound level down. It doesn't hurt my ears because it dumps out so far down the bike. When you get on it, wow, it roars and you can really hear it wake up.

The Pro Pipe was one of my first purchases I made when I first got the 2007 SG. The low end torque was the biggest thing I noticed. I have since done motor work and added the PCV with the Auto Tune and the pipe is really loud since doing the work. I have had the pipes a long time and have never thought once about switching to a different pipe. Three out of my five close buddies have switch to the pro pipe and are extremely happy. I haven't had any of the issues that have been mentioned on this forum. As I said before the only drawback is ever since I bumped the motor up the pipes are louder but in a lower tone, throaty kinda way.

Thanks dog. The pics I take with my cheep camera never show the right colors. Funny the reactions I get with it...people either love it or hate it...but everyone knows which one is my bike. One other comment about fit and finish..I had a harley mechanic friend help me with the install as he has done a ton of V&H pipes. He showed me how you have to install the whole heat shield pieces and bolt them on loosely and then fit them into place. He also said not to use the exhaust gaskets that come with it, get some quality ones. It came out perfect, and I'm very picky.
