I like it. I like the hum it makes when you were crusing, before you dropped the hammer on it. The idle sounds good too. The only think I worry about is that chrome man.

I've heard some pretty bad things about Arlen Ness' chrome. I experienced it myself with a set of wheels I had. Hope they have better chrome these days.

Looks and sounds great dude !!!

Any noticeable performance changes ?

How does your butt dyno compare this pipe to your V&H 2-1 pipe?

It is not Arlen Ness chrome. Arlen Ness has zero to do with the manufacturing of these exhausts. Magnaflow makes them and puts the AN logo on there.
I did not really notice a performance difference to be honest. But that is literaly the only ride I have on the pipe, too soon to be sure.

Yes they do. I was just sick of the gloss black powdercoat not holding up, and I don't like the flat black ceramic coat on this bike. Not with all of the gloss and chrome. Figured I would try something different.

I did not even adjust the tune. It runs fine with the same settings as the V&H pipe I had before.
