Default Pipes pics

Ok guys, I am runnin short shots and they are good pipes.


As usual when you get bored and drink a few beers you start gettin ideas. I was thinkin about changing to a different style of pipe. It would be a quick, easy project to bolt on some different pipes.


Can you guys post some pics and throw in a blurb on pros and cons please. I am interested in short styles. Maybe those ones that just run straight down and then have the slant cut (street sweepers??). Or maybe the ones that are very similar to the short shots but follow a higher route torward the back of the bike. Any jetting issues, power loss, louder...list ur stuff.


My short shots





This is what I meant by similar to the short shots but following a "higher route toward the back of the bike". Is this a commercially available style of pipe??





This style caught my eye. But I heard not good for motor due to very short length. Info / opinions.






Pics please!!!

Its a build the guy did by himself, I remember from last year when he first started it I think. Not sure about the pipes OP, I only run 2n1's.

Luba: I'd look for a ThunderHeader or SuperTrapp.

Pic is of a Sporty, but no reason a variation can't be done for your bike.




Almost always going to get more power out of a 2-1 set up. Can be made using an exhaust builders kit. I like the look of the "ripper" tip.
