Default BUB Exhaust

Anyone use BUB exhaust on a sporster? Are they good quality pipes? Also any recomendations on a fuel management system and air cleaner that work well with them?

I don't have a Sportster but I do have a set of the Bub7 true duals on my Ultra. Awesome pipes. High quality and awesome sound. I use a TTS Mastertune with them and am as happy as a pig in ****!

What we have seen here, is that a Supertrapp 2/1 is at the top of the list, for that bike, FWIW.

The Bub pipes are great for stock bikes,but if you are looking for a performance exhaust,they are not the best pipes out there.
For performance,the D&D can't be beat!

I put a set of BUB Jug Huggers on my 07 1200 low. They sounded great at idle and acel ... massive decel poping so much so that I typically pulled my clutch in while stopping. Granted, I didn't get a dyno done on it, but I'm very skeptical it coulda been tuned out. They give the bike sorta a unique look, don't see a lot of bikes with the turned down end that the BUBs have. Traded bike in last October, its still on the dealers floor for sale ... hmmm, 07 1200 with 10k for $9800 ... sounds like a steal huh ;-).

Oh, as far as the quality question, couple comments. The Jug Huggers are step tuned, understand that's a good thing, back pressure and such. The baffle screws were ****, basically just a hole through the baffle and pipe with a screw and nut through it. Ending up putting red locktite on it to get the damn thing to stop coming loose.

I run Bub Jug Huggers on my '09 Street Bob. At about 10K miles the exhaust tips began to peel BADLY. I contacted Bub's for warranty replacement and they gave me the runaround until I threatened to contact the BBB, Attorney General's office, and federal trade commission. They had me ship the defective tips back to them. The bottom tip has scrape marks on it and I'm guessing they are going to raise hell about that. When they sent me the replacement tips they also sent an invoice saying that if I didn't return the defective ones that they would charge me $118 for the ones they sent me under warranty. If they do I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card. I won't buy another Bub's product because they've treated me like crap. TERRIBLE customer service.
