The Cobra's I've installed on some other pep's bikes, I thought the quality could have been better for the price...

I like the look of them and I did quite a bit of research on this site when I was looking for pipes last year. There seemed to be quite a few "disgruntalled" punters out there with Cobras for one reason or another. Lots of satisfied ones as wellI must add. I am sure the same is true for all pipe manufacturers. Looks good though.

I am looking at them [Cobras] and Vance and Hines, BSS. I haven'tseen too manybad reports on V&h, but I like the length of the Cobra Speedsters that's why I was asking, thanks guys.

I also looked at them for the same reason - they seem longer than the V&H BSS. The V&H Q Series seem the same length as the Cobra, but I didn't like the step-up in the pipe size. Check them out - they may be what you are after (being V&H I am sure the quality is good).

In the end I went for something totally different - D&D Fatcat 2 into 1. Very pleased with look, performance and sound.

Happy hunting.

Hello Yogi I was looking at V&H Q series for lengthbut didn't like the ridge in them also. Great minds think alike! I'm still not sure what i'll put on. Today I was looking at Python speedster slashdowns, any fedback on them?

From what I know of Pythons, they are made by V&H. Same quality apparently, just made for Drag Specialists under a different brand name. Do a search on this forum and I am sure you will find loads of info. They look exactly like the V&H BSS to me - not any longer from whatI can see.
