Default Name this exhaust

Hey guys, I finally sold the sport bike and moving onto a HD. I'm picking up my first Harley this weekend, already put money down, just waiting to trasfer the title and get her home.

Was wondering if you guys could tell me which kind of exhaust this is?



Thanks all

Doesn't look as severe a radius for big radius. Looks more like Cobra Speedster Short Swept.

I think you have it right there. The other link shows similar curves, however it doesn't have that tear drop at the end. Thanks man

Now I know V&H are good exhaust however they seemed pretty quiet for being a V&H. I'd assume they all have baffles, if so I could remove them and replace them with something similar for back pressure but less noise restriction.

They are cut pretty similarly on the end for both the V&H and Cobra, but the picture you posted doesn't have a good view to verify. A direct side view would clarify. Either brand is good.

Either brand typically stamps their logos on the pipes.

From what I have noticed the Cobra's are not as loud as the V&H pipes. You could always pull the baffles out and just run them open-that's what I did and would do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't V & H always have their name physically pressed right into the pipes near the end of the pipe?

Thanks bud, the previous owner did a very nice job with it. It's clean, and well taken care of, I have to thank him for that. Some mods, all tastefully done in my opinion. I'll post more pics, or better pics once I get it in my garage this weekend.

Thanks, unfortunately there's only a handful of photos I have with me. I'll have to see if it's stamped.

No issues with back pressure? I was always worried about bent valves.
