Default Paul Yaffe Phantom pipes...

Wow. These pipes look awesome. $$$$$$, but still awesome. Anyone know anything about these? I am currently running Hooker Trouble Makers. Would I lose any power with the Phantoms? Anyone seen 'em or heard 'em?

Yaffe makes great stuff but it's not cheap. that is for sure. A shorter pipe will usually result in a loss of lower end torques as there is less scavenging of the exhaust gasses. They are usually louder as well.

I had a set of pipes similiar to these but made by Martin Bros prior to the Martin Bros pipe that I currently have on my bike. They looked good and sounded LOUD, but they were next to impossible to tune and my bike ran SUPER hot.
