Python Exhaust... Opinions?
I'm looking to upgrade my scoots exhaust system and I was thinking of going with the Python Venom radius pipes, Power commander and Roland sands breather. I was hoping to see if anyone else out there was running or ran python pipes and what they thought of them. Not much literature out there on them so I thought I'd turn to the experts (you guys).

This is what I just posted about them on another thread:
I have Python staggers on my 2005 FXDC. My experience has been that they are a top quality product.
Mine have been on since the bike was practically new (about 5 years). No issues at all. I love the sound and get a ton of compliments.
I've never had a reason to call the factory so no comment on the telephone service.
I've scraped the bottoms on twisties alot and still no rust, although I put a coat of wax on the shields each time the bike is detailed. The sheilds don't get hot enough to burn the wax off.
The downside, if you condsider it a downside, is they are loud on the highway. I typically wear ear plugs on long interstate runs. I was stopped once by a riding buddy who told we had to change places becasue he was riding just behind and right of me and said he couldn't take it any longer.

If I'm not mistaken, Python is owned by Vance & Hines and the pipes are made by V&H. In my opinion, V&H makes some of the best pipes out there, so you can't go wrong if you want the Pythons.

correct python is a vance and hines product but it is only available through Drag Specialties. My python is very good. The only problem I had is with the baffle screws. The weld holding the nut in the baffle broke, causing the baffle to rattle. Two tack welds, some grinding, and about 5,000 miles later, I haven't had any issues.

Awesome guys, thanks. I don't mind that they'll be loud. It'll actually be a welcome change from the sewing machine volume sound I have now. LOL. I'll make sure to come back and post some pics as soon as I get the job done. Can't wait. I'm sure she'll be a whole new beast!
