Great looking pipes. I'd jump at that price in a second if I had forwards.

They look great.. It was a toss up between them and the Troublemakers for me. Did you get them directly from www.hookerpipes.com

yeah they are loud, and yes i got them directly from hooker, they had a 75% off sale. took awhile for shipping, ordered them thursday night the 2nd, and they got here yesterday. there is an issue with the mounting bracket interfering with the brake linkage, didnt notice it yesterday since the weather was bad so i couldnt ride it. im hoping ill be able to grind it with my dremel so i wont have to remove everything. ill take some pics and post up how it goes.
