Troublemaker Pipes Arrived!
Had the pipes shipped to the office since I am moving this weekend and didn't want them to get lost in transit, or go to the wrong address. I have never wanted to leave work so bad in my entire life! I still have to finish some packing, but I am guessing that I'll be up all night if I have to in order to get these pipes installed tonight. I'll do my best to take some video footage with audio for posting of the before and after so you can see and hear the difference. Already talked to the stealer (Glendale HD) and they have agreed to do the rejet for me for about $100.

Speaking of which.....sinice I am going to have the pipes on for a few days and the lean condition of the stock jets can lead to blueing of the pipes, do you think that I'll get any blueing if I put about 50 miles on it before it's rejetted?

I've got a set of Troublemakers on my bike... I don't think you'll have to worry about the blueing....
Mine have been on for about three months and no hint of blueing...

Has anyone used Ebay for their troublemakers? I bought a set of slash cut two days ago from American Classic Motors. They have them for $399 plus $25 for shipping. They are an authorized dealer for Hooker. Being $115 less than everyone else, I have wondered about them. Can't wait!!

I've had dealings with American Classic Motors in the past.
They seem like a good, honest vendor, and I've never had a problem....

RE: Troublemaker Pipes Arrived!
ACM is actually who I ordered mine from. I did the install last night. Took about 45min-1 hour since I'm a rusty wrench. The instructions weren't written very well. There were tools that were needed that weren't listed and one or two steps were missing. Note that the instructions came in the box from Holley and not from ACM. Overall, it wasn't too bad. I finished the install at 10:55 last night so I only fired it up for about one minute so the cops didn't show up. LOL. Man are they looouuuuuddd. I received the quiet baffles and the installation tool today, which I spent the extra $112 on to have just in case I wanted to tone them down a bit.
So here's what I am going to do for my friends on the hdforums - I did take a few seconds of video and audio with the bike running stock pipes. This weekend I'll take the same video and audio with the new pipes (open) and then I'll take a third sequence with the quiet baffles. This is what I wanted to see before I bought them, but it didn't exist (as far as I could tell) on this forum, so I am happy to create the post and share it with everyone else.
So far we've really only talked about sound, but I'll tell you what - these pipes looked really darn good when installed!
