$229 For the KO vs $600+ For the real CFR's.....BIG difference in price, but I'll bet there is a BIG difference in quality also.....But I'm just guessing haven't used either muffler so I can't say for sure.

Just put the real cfr's on my 09 streetglide and they sound great. Don't no why anyone would put the cheap knock offs on a $20,000 plus ride. That's just stupid. The difference in price is only a few hundred bucks. Just money, not that big of a deal.

Some people didn't pay $20k plus for their rides, so that much of a difference can be significant.

Well, in my case I didn't have almost 700$, but I had 200. Not too bad to test them out. Rather be out only 200 if I don't like them than 700. As far as I can tell, they're only "cheap" in price....sound is awesome! I may sell them for what I paid for them when I get another 400$ and get the real deal, but that can take a few months.
Sometime that cheap stuff gives up poor guys a little bit of happiness til we can get the expensive stuff
