Default Hooker FourBidden.. Anyone?

Anyone running the FourBidden's?.. If so, how loud are they? Performance gains?.. I really like the looks of these and think they'll go well with my soon to be new "Dark Custom" Rocker.. On the other hand I have a habit of cruisin into the drive at 3am on the weekends my ex has the kids.. LOL.. Not sure I want to **** off all the neighbors at once.. lol

Thanks in advance

I had a set on my 07 standard for awhile. Looked great and sounded even better. Drug like hell though on hard right turns, but then again, I lowered my bike 2"

How loud were they 99?.. Obnoxious or noticeable?.. The draggin pipes isn't new to me.. I slammed my Rocker and drap that BR on right turns.. lol.. Btw, my bike doesn't look like the one in my sig anymore.. Should have it all together in the next couple of days and I'm thinking that hooker pipe would be perfect.. Just afraid to spend $700 on something that will wake the dead at 3am and then I have to sell it to avoid the man and the neighbors..

I dont think they were any louder than my BSS with monster baffles at low rpms, but they scream when your on it pretty hard. BTW, I have a hookup to get the pipes at REALLY good prices. I havent checked on the rocker set yet, but can if you want. I'm sure it would be cheaper than 700 and I take paypal

I had Fourbidden Darksides for awhile. They were about as loud as my BR 2-2 if not a little louder. Defintely radiated more heat down there. Didnt notice any hp gains but never on the dyno. Got a lot of + comments.

I have the Fourbiddens right now. Not only do I love the look of them, but the gain for me was worth the price in itself.
I switched from the Yaffe X-pipes which looked awesome but poor quality welds and loss of low end forced me into going in another direction.
These Fourbiddens are quality built, look good, sound great, and a decent power gain. I'm happy!

Thanks for the input guys... Once I get my bike back together I think I gotta get a set.. Provided they mount up..

Hey 99Embrey.. Shoot me a pm with a price on them for an '08 Rocker (but I bet the regular Softail will work).. Looking at the Darksides with the slash out tip..

Thanks..
