Default New pipes

i must say this was by far the easiest system to install EVER! 2 separate header pipes, and one collector, all their own little pieces. It has the tone of much longer pipes and is much deeper than my old sideshots. so far they are terrific!

Wow. You went from my 2nd favorite (and expensive) pipes to my 1st favorite (and MORE expensive) pipes. Lucky man. Jealousy doesn't usually hit me, but I am really jealous of those BMF's.

ummmm, i got lucky, thats it. I found a deal on Ebay. GM Cycles, they were out of the stainless ones (cheaper) and over nighted me the black ones for 20 bucks more than the stainless. I can't justify $900 on pipes, but they cut me a great deal so I had to jump on it (way less than $900).

How about a sound clip?
I like these pipes but don't like where they placed the o2 sensor bungs. In your case it isn't relevant since you're probably running the auto tune.

Looks good. I was split between these and the D&D Bobcat. I chose to go with the D&D Bobcat and just ordered them today but you make me second guess my choice because those look good. +1 on the sound clip. I plan to post some video of my exhaust once it gets delivered.
