heritage softail exhaust
I've been looking for a good exhaust system for my '09 FLSTC. I'm leaning towards the Cobra Speedster Long, or at least a similar looking system. I want something with a good "Harley" sound, but that wont wake the neighbors (ie. drag pipes). Has anyone tried the Cobras or something similar? Also I've heard that some Cobras tend to discolor; any truth to that? And if anyone knows a good site to get them online at a good price, I'd appriciate that too. Thanks all!!

I don't know anything about the Cobra's. I've used the V&H ProPipe on my last two Heritages. They are a great pipe, sound good and build lots of low-end torque. I ran a ThunderHeader on my Dyna Low Rider and it was way too loud for me.

Cobra's are great. They look great, sound great and have a crossover to help on the torque issue other drag pipes have. Rush also makes a drag pipe now. These would also be at the top of my list. V&H bigshot longs would be a safe bet if you don't mind having the same thing everyone else does. The bluing issue is a tuning problem. Cobras are very well made and you shouldn't have any issues. I had Rush on my '07 heritage, but now I have Samson baffled longtails. Let us know what you decide. Good luck

Thanks for all the help. I'm starting to lean towards the v&h bs because I've heard that the cobras are maybe a little loader than I'm looking for. Does anyone know where to get the best price on either of them? I've been on ebay and a few other sites and the price seems to vary a lot... let me know... thanks.

Cobra HP 2n1, no discoloration. Know others with Cobras, no problems either and Cobra does have a lifetime chrome warranty. Great price from Jake Wilson in Utah for $415 shipped last fall. Dont know how much the 2n2's are. Also, Jake Wilson is a HD Forum sponsor.
Had VH bss prior to the Cobras. The Cobras are a nice pipe and I am very happy with the fit and finish, sound, performance... But, the VH quality is better.

Only heard one set, IMHO they are different than the V&H's, not on the better side either..
Son thought about getting some, but not after we heard them...He went with BSL's. this time, had BR's2-2 before.
All of the above are on the loud side at idle, and louder when accelerating.
