Just got it installed, haven't had the chance to ride it yet. Sounds pretty good, definitely louder than the RB Racing Black Hole; I think a little deeper too.
We'll see tomorrow morning... hopefully won't wake the neighbors.

Not sure how it will hang on your bike, but on my heritage, it's a little low, so I have to be really careful about leaning too deep into right turns, or bumps in a right turn while someone is on the back.

I have plenty of scrapes on the bottom of mine, but I still wouldn't trade it. I love the sound of it. You're gonna be picking bugs from your teeth cause you can't stop smiling when you get on the gas.

Have fun

Yes heat shields. Comfort and looks! But I do like chrome.. Either way that's a serious looking pipe!

I have one on my Street Bob. Grateful for earplugs and a Schuberth after very much time. Off the throttle is not bad, but it will get your attention with some RPM applied. Hope you like it!
