Default Stock pipe mod

Done an easy mod to my stock pipes.
Removed the baffles and put 4 inches truck tailpipes, a 150$ mod.
Looks good and sounds great!

Yeah, I would tear those up in about 5 minutes.
Good luck with the dust.

Dust was my first thought. I can see a blipping pirate sitting there on the dirt road coming out of Glencoe campgrounds blipping dust all over about 10 black bikes behind him.

Have you tried leaning around curves with those extensions?

Or backing up to a curb? That'd be where I'd mess them up.

Other than those down sides, they look good.

Going in or out of a driveway that's sloped up or down will be an experience for sure. Lets not even mention a speed bump.

I like the look as well, but, I would be scared of scraping. Have you tried riding 2 up? Did you scrap ground in corners? Have you gone over a speed bump yet?

Yep... done all that; tight curves, bumps, etc... they might look low but they are not. Have'nt tryed them 2 up and for sure will have to be carefull when backing up to a sidewalk.

But anyway this is just a 150$ mod so if they don't do the job I'll go for a complete exhaust change. But for now they do the job and they look good.
For the dust problem... I don't care!
