I bought a set like those a couple of years back. I never mounted them since the quality was not really good. I had a buddy who wanted them for his so I gave em to him. He was back to using his factory headpipes with screamin eagle II's about a month later.
Drag pipes are a cheap way to be loud but result in a huge loss of backpressure (i.e. loss of power). You are betteroff buying a quality pipe such as vance & hines or samson.

I Agree, and figured I'd throw "Bassani Pipes" out there to be considered.

I've never done business with the company, but for a 'heads up' you might want to check this thread dealing with Demons Cycle from the Softail Forum....
