Jackpot End Caps
Been proud owner of Jackpot pipes (and header pipe) for some time. Am now considering getting the end caps for an added look. They're a bit pricey so am looking for some feedback before pulling the trigger. Thanks.

Got my pipes with end caps on when I bought them. Took them off to change baffles, reinstall with thread locker. Just don't over tighten them or the little hex screws will put dimples on the pipes.
In my case, I dimpled the inside of the pipes to make sure they won't come off, don't know how heat affects thread locker. Also considering different heat expansion rate differences between pipes and end caps. Certainly don't want them to come of, esp while riding.

How do you like the sound compared to stock? Which baffle did you get? I'm considering the same setup. I want more sound, deeper, but not abnoxious. I'm also considering V & H dresser duals and rineharts. Anyone have any opionions on that setup? Thanks!
I just got them with the standard baffles. Not obnoxious. Smooth on idle & cruise, aggressive and deep on throttle. Perfect balance. Had Rhineharts beforehand but found them to be a bit high-pitched for me.
I would not use the Jackpots with the CAT still in place though as one the of pipes had begun to barely yellow on the edge while waiting for the header pipe to come in. Temperatures went down drastically, and confirmed by a laser thermometer, once the new header pipe was in place and the CAT out.
Not familiar with V & H. For what it's worth, local HD dealer complimented on the quality of the Fuelmoto header pipe.
