Ok.. I am not big on looking for performance.. This is my first bike and has more then enough power but I love the looks of the Cobra Speedster Swept exhaust setup.. I was just curious on the noise level.. I currently have the stock exhaust with 4 1/2inch holes in each pipe.. How much louder are the Cobra Swept's? The exhaust as it is now sounds good but would love something louder.. I found the Cobra's at a great price (I think) of 570 shipped..
I was looking into the Cobra auto tuner but did a quick search and saw people were having some issues with chugging or something like that.. Have they worked it out?
There is no user settings on the auto tuner, right? it is 100% plug and play and does everything automatically? Something anyone can install or is it more involved?
I totally agree. I had the dealer install my Cobra pipes and auto tuner. This was their first install of all Cobra setup, they were impressed and said it was the best setup for power and performance.
I have the Cobra swepts, along with the cobra air kit, and auto-tune. The sound from the cobra's is not as loud as some others, but it has a very nice tuned sound.
I prefer Vance and Hines. The pipes are better quality and last longer. I think the Vance and Hines Big Radius pipes are a bit louder than Cobra however.
My cobra swepts arrive tomorrow, was a hard decision between them and the V&H, really could have gone either way and I would have been happy I imagine. I went with the GMan fuel manager myself over the autotuner.
I'm holding off on the intake at this moment, waiting for the SS Custom intakes they got coming out in a week or so - I'm hoping they are released when he indicated otherwise I'll break down and buy something else.
Go for it! I got the Cobra swepts with the PCV and Big City Thunder baffles. Sounds great and will haul a$$!
I've gotten a ton of compliments of the black swepts on my Raven Stryker. Several have asked if they are custom pipes also.
I'm looking at the Cobra Swept exhaust as well. Seems most had it done at a shop, but did anyone do it themself and if so how hard was it? I was looking at the V&H, but they push the pegs out more (which I don't want), but I see that they are quite popular also. In fact, I was looking at ordering the Cobra's from PacificCoastStar.com since they are on sale for $519. Anyone had any experience with them? Should I spring for the intake and tuner at the same time? So many questions... I'm usually not his conflicted!

I took my best internet prices to my dealer and they matched it. They said they would match it even if they didn't do the work, but I had them do everything. I have ordered from PCS and haven't had any issues, but I did not order anything large.
I got the black swepts on my bike. I installed them myself, relatively easy job, only took maybe an hour. Make sure you get new exhaust header gaskets before install

My dealer wouldn't blink at the full retail price he quoted of $699...I even showed several sites that sell them nearly $200 cheaper! Guess I'll get them online. Where did you get the new gaskets? It doesn't look like the gaskets come with the pipes, but one would think that they should be included...can't be very expensive.

Your dealer, photos and part numbers are on this site somewhere....
