I have the PN 65100078 and mine "gurgles".. Perhaps this is a stupid question but I have to ask... What do the caps have to do with the sound of the pipes? I thought they were just for looks. Maybe certain caps direct the gurgling sound so it's not as obvious? I've noticed the noise but it really hasn't bothered me but can be a tad annoying if you're on and off the throttle constantly in traffic..

I’ve had about 7 people message me when I comment on threads about the gurgle. A few have changed out to the two piece and came back to say “thanks, that solved it”. The two in my HOG chapter I mentioned before were chomping at the bit to buy some other slip-ons as they hated the gurgle that much (as did my wife). They changed to two-piece and it went away.

I also noted a bit of condensation drip on initial start up at the left pipe header to muffler connection. It went away with tightening.
Then you have other two-piece users who say theirs also have the sound...hard to figure. As I said I only have 50 miles on these pipes and love how they are performing but it would be perfect without the gurgle. If it's Normal I can live with it.

I don't know for sure but to be clear I'm running the slash 2 piece tips with gurgle.

Craziest thing for me is that my 2 piece don't alleviate gurgling. Maybe today at the dealer I'll see what real gurgling sounds like with the other style end caps and see what you mean by smoothing out and alleviating the sound.

OP - glad you found the pipes that work for you. Exhaust sound is very subjective. The important part is that you like them!

After running stock for 5k miles, I went with Rinehart Motopro45's, back to stock, back to Motopro's after Stage 1, then 18 CVO mufflers. Today I fitted the SE Cannons with 2 piece slash cut. Here's a quick synopsis of them all.
Stock-opened up nicely after 1k miles and performed great.
Rineharts- Beautiful pipes but lost torque and couldn't handle the drone at cruise.
CVO's-More quiet than stock but good all around performers. They just had no real sound.
Street Cannons-Great performance so far with no low end torque loss. Very linear power delivery. Much louder on the throttle than I expected but sound pretty good. Nice and quiet at cruise. Seems real,y right for the M8 motor.
One thing I don't care for is the decel and even up shift gurgle. It bugs me more than I would have expected but I may get used to it.
Do all SE end caps for M8's produce the gurgle? I was told slash cuts didn't but they do.

Whoa! What didn't you like about them after you installed the new head pipe? Was it the sound or the performance?
