I have the W's from DK in my drag pipes and they are great. Got rid of the dead spot when I would open the bike up and defiantly feel like I picked up some low end from getting rid of the hesitation.

I found these. For $35 I will give them a shot. If not I will be looking for some pipes.
I'm very curious to see if these make a noticeable difference. They seem very short and probably won't disturb the exhaust flow enough to make a difference unless you put them at the front end of the muffler. Let us know how it turns out!

Will do. If these don't pan out I will look at the DK products to stay in the good graces of Natalie. I am hoping they show up tomorrow to keep me busy tomorrow night.

Put them in today. I little bigger project than I expected. The pipes must have had baffles at one time because there was all kinds of metal I had to clean out. A lot of dremmel and chisel work. There is a bigger difference than I had anticipated however I may wrap them too. The popping is what I would like to get rid of.

Wrapping them may soften the popping a little, but to really reduce the popping your jetting "you said old sportster" for your carb needs to be tuned.
