You asked how they compare to Rineharts it's night and day the CFRs and the knockoffs have adeep throaty rumble that I haven't heard anywhere else.
So overall the knockoffs sound and look good and at 1/3 the price of the CFRs they look to be a good deal.
The true test will be time will the knockoffs rust out early or welds break .

Rineharts
The Rineharts have a completely mellow sound which i was ok with but when i would ride with my buddy who has CFRs i love the sound of those pipes. I Love the low end rumble and when you want to really be heard and not have some one come over in your lane .... I have heard him roll his throttle and scare the S#*t out of folks not paying attention Now the CFR knock-offs are sofa-king
Unbelievable for the price . You really cant tell the difference between the Cfrs and knockoffs (I like the knock offs better but my buddy would never concede ) I scored .

We met once last year at the Buzz Inn in Monroe. Along with Davessworks. The three of us rode down to Sound HD after breakfast.
I'd love to meet up with you and your buddy Blueshart to see and hear these pipes side by side. I'm iced in up in Granite for now but that should clear up in the next day or so..
How about a meet sometime down at Sound? I'll buy the coffee.

It is really cool that Cary is working with you to get you a set of CFR that you can tune. I think the honorable thing to do when you are given the deep discount would be to crush the knock offs. By selling them, you only perpetuate what his attorneys seem to be trying to stop.... the sale of knock off CFR.
Just my two cents, not a flame or an insult.

I'm not sure...it would be an added bonus, but it won't matter. As long as I have rideability, I'll be fine...even if the numbers drop a bit. They were 115/121 with the CFR prior, but with a dip & stutter.

KEVDOG I guess I have to open a You Tube account so that I can post the videos, I will try to do that today .
Clint I am iced in as well but it's warming up today maybe this weekend we can meet up somewhere and you can listen to both of them.
