New Pipes!

I finally was able to install my new Patriot Defenders last night. I must say they sound great! I think I may have pissed off some of the neighbors with my test ride at 9:45 pm but no one has complained so far. I'm gonna set the thundermax to auto tune and allow it to self tune to these pipes. I can't wait to see what these pipes do once it is properly tuned! I will post a before and after sound clip soon.

I like the chrome and black and also the fact that they aren't black Vance and Hines short shots. Looking good! Are those the pipes you can adjust the baffle?

Yes they have a little flap that can be adjusted to make them quiet down, but I will be removing this butterfly valve as I won't ever use it.

Here is a before and after sound clip of the pipes. I like how deep the rumble is and how loud the Defenders get. The video doesn't do much justice but you can hear the difference. Soon I will be cutting the butterfly valve out as I will never use to to make the pipes quieter.
