Default Bub Boom Cans

I love my Boom Cans but am tired of the scraping when transitioning out of parking lots etc. I like to know your opinions on Klock Werks Short-Style Super Saver 4", Cobra 4" and Rush Big Louie all in slash up. I'm trying to fill the opening in extended bags.

Still running them and still like, if you ride by your self you will never scrape. Problem is 2 up even with shocks @ 45psi. On right side flip rubber mount cushion up side down, it will give you about another 1/4" clearence. Slide mufflers as far up on 2 into 1 into 2 pipe as possible ( even with back of bag ) you will learn to live with it. You can't see the damage even if you do scrape, I am just **** about everything being perfect.

I really like the looks of them, just keep them ! You can scrape some driveways and parking lots even with stock pipes.

i had a set on my older bike, took them off after 3 seasons, three reasons, one they scraped on just about every transition from a parking lot to the street or from the street to the parking lot and two they do not make great power, and three the older they get the louder they get. 3 years was enough. When to a set of CVO mufflers with full sac cores. The 4in mufflers filled in the cuts nicely.
