Nightster Questions
I just purchased a 2008 Nightster and was wondering the best way to make it loud and have a deep rumble. I also looked at the posting "all nightster pic" and want the black pipes. Where do I get those for my bike?

The V&H are nice but I think they are higher and a tad "tinney" for my ear. I really like my Thunderheader. The Thunderheader is a 2 to 1 and it will also give you a bigger performance gain when doing a stage 1.

RE: Nightster Questions
I put V&H Black Shortshotswith the quiet baffles on my wifes nightster. Sound isgreat. Loud but not obnoxious, and a deep tone with the quiet baffles, not "tinny" at all.She thinks she is pretty cool since she has had alot of people come up and tell her how much they love the look and sound of herpipes.
I bought them from eastern performance (advertiser on here), best price I could find. I would also recommendgetting a Stage 1 air cleaner from yourdealer. Then I would recommend a PCIII from Jamie atFuelMoto. I noticed aperformance gain with this set up.You can install everything in a evening.

I got short shots and they are too loud but I really want a thunder header. I use to like the look of short shots but there played out. I know the thunder header is my next setup but I like short pipes that show off my rear rim

RE: Nightster Questions
I just put Rush slip-ons on my 2008 Nightster. Not black, but what a sound! So far have had several comments about people liking the sound, that it has a rumble, not tinny. I got the 2.25 baffles - louder than I expected, but not obnoxious. (at least to me
).

I put D&D slash cut slip-ons on mine. Great deep sound. Loud enough to make car alarms chirp when you get too close, but not so loud that the neighbors form a posse. They're on the web, out of Fort Worth, Texas. The local dealers recommend them above Screamin' Eagles.

RE: Nightster Questions
Good Luck finding BLACK pipes and big rush on them them early season. I still have a set of D&D Black Fatcats on back order since April 8th. If you never seen a Thunder header in persone you need to before you order one their crude! the end of them is well I keep that to myself.
And this "comming from them the finish is kinda not the best you might want to have a powder coater do the black ceramic coating on them befor you put them on. Then you will have around $800.00 in a set of their pipes. No thanks! So I went with Vance & Hines short shots had them in 3 days from Eastern Performance. I have miles of smiles Not ONE guy has said those pipes look ugly as **ck .I hear you couldn't have made a better set of pipes if you wanted they look perfect on the Nightster .Yea I know everyone on here says be differen't but I have yet to see a Nightser in my area Dayton Ohio with a set on it...
