Default Cheap or Reasonable 2-1?

Anyone try these 2-1 pipes. I figure for the price, how could you go wrong...The head pipe alone would be worth that much, No? Pro's/con's or even opinions... Thanx... Click the Amazon link...

Does not say anything about a baffle or heat shields, I don't like the look of them. I would save the money and put it towards a more quality 2-1 pipe. Just my opinion.

Looks like a 1 piece system.

Yea, I believe it's a one piece. Not looking at performance. Just like the looks... Thinking of adapting it to my 77 FXE...

my take is
probably overseas junk with crappy chrome which will rust in short order. seen so many go cheap pipes and although they work fairly well if tune-able usually wind up under exh wrap.

i sorta collect guitars, wife complains but i say at least they are not women and she lets me buy it. what this has to do with pipes, remember, time is usually on your side so really find out what you want and if necessary save up for it. we use cash back cards for groceries and such and you will be surprised on the rewards you can get. remember, money spent is money lost, get what you want.

Well got the pipe UPS today and let me tell ya..... You get what you pay for. It's a wide open pipe (no baffle), very thin and at the back side of the collector it wasn't welded completely to both down tubes..... Major exhaust leak there.... Gonna send them back... The pic is the inside of the pipe looking toward the collector.. check out all the daylight.... They look really nice, BUTT...........

Cheapest full system I found I would put on my bike is Fuelmoto with the discs... it’s not cheap but I would trust that it would be of some decent quality.

Low Cost 2:1 for XL/Softail/Dyna, the new Lowbrow Customs by Kerker. 399 retail. Black only, no shields. Proven Kerker design, minus shields and just simple paint.
