Love my older Rinehart TD's with the "stepped header" design & no problems with the chrome quality! Now that they are no longer made by Bub, I don't know what there like??

They are still really nice! I can get them for you and love Rineharts. There is no sound like Rinehart!

I've got the Rinehart's. Have always had them and will probably always use them just because I stick with something that I like. That being said, Bubs makes a good quality product as well and I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I've got the older Bub/Rineharts. They are great performers, but the chrome quality is not the best. If I were buying now, I think I'd be getting the BUB 7s.

I've always liked the Rinehart sound over Bub 7. The Rinehart has a deeper rumble IMO.

Do yourself a favor and check out MGS Custom Bikes true duals, they make good #s look awesome and have lots of bark when getting on it but are mild when at speed cruising and the tips won't turn purple like rineharts. The price is is less and the 4" cans look awesome. Hands down the most compliments I get on my bike is the look and sound of these pipes. I love em!

I like my Bub 7's. I'm happy with them but not the chrome quality.
