cobra swepts now, bye Vance and Hines, pictures added!

Not going to lie... I like the look and the sound of the Vance and Hines better.... but, this works for me better, while still looking good and sounding good. I hate seeing where the pipes weld together though...

They'll line up. Are the header pipes separated from each other?

Mine when on great. Install them seperately and slip in the connector.

I tried separately.... slowly, evenly....not even close!? Well, close... but no chance...meet some random nice guy and had to grind all 4 holes a little... it was pretty weird...

now though, will post a pic tonight!

Odd. Mine fit without any hassel. So you're saying the flanges didn't fit your exhaust port bolts? Those flanges have plenty of play in them. I'm concerned that your pipes were bent...

 

[mikoloe]

Those flanges may have been bent.

 

[kakarot]

Those flanges are pretty thick and solid... They didn't look Bent, twisted, damaged.... and it was both flanges.... maybe my pins were a little off? Either way, all good now!

I'll posta finished pic ASAP

 

[strykertony]

it being bent is possible. ive taken my pipes off a few times. they did not exactly line up at first. i had to manuever them for the flanges to line up. it took a few tries to figure that out

Good, Glad you made it back home. Now that you have had the opportunity to ride with both pipes, which do you prefer sound wise?

Well the swepts are a quieter but smooth pipe... With less backfire....

However, looks and sound still goes to the V&H.... But the swepts are better for my legs :/

kakarot I have a suggestion for you on the baffles:

I cut out the center plate and wrapped them with fiberglass, check out my video on my profile.

I would like to see someone pull the baffles and wrap them with fire place rope.

Cobra designed these baffles with 2 chambers to quiet them down some. Most loud pipes have one chamber, this is the reason I cut the center plate out. You dont have to. After riding for a couple of hours I used to get a headache because it was too loud(before the wrap). Now, Mine are not so loud at idle and have a low rumble. When I get on it they are loud enough for me. After Desert storm I don't hear so well anymore.

Let us know.....
