Are the pipes more of a flat black or gloss and how did you tune your bike?

They are flat black with chrome end cap.

I have a Power Vision with Auto Tune Pro. The wide band O2 sensors fit into the bungs on the Road Rage 2:1

There are a couple of different models, One goes over and around the cam chest and the other is mine.

How do I know which is which. I've looked on a few sites and seems like there is only one road rage.

so Gomme I know it's been a minute but how do you know which model is which. It seems like each site I look at either has the short or long. (JP cycle, revzilla, fuel Moto, etc.)
