I was in the grocery store parking lot waiting for a light to access the public road. While waiting I stop so as not to block the isle. Sure enough a soccer mom in her big SUV talking on her cell phone tried to turn into the lane. I saw her and anticipated this it what she would do so I pulled in the clutch and let the V&H howl. She heard me and put on the brakes to wait. I love these pipes.

If you had the Cobras she would have hung up, backed up, and turned into another lane.

LOL just kidding. Good stuff man.

In this day and age it is so cheap to go hands free which is the law here in NY and it pisses me off when i see anybody doing this. I have the same pipes as you and i love them i will turn up the volume at a red light and your next to me on the phone then when they look i let them know. I wish i could replicate that sound when i see people on line talking on the phone when they are at a cash register. i saw this at the post office last week how rude.

Loud pipes do help. So far all I got is 9-1/2 holes in each baffle. But when my wife honked her horn on her V Star at a cow in the road the cow just looked up like WTF is that. Then I revved mine a couple times and that got it's attention and it moved out of the way.

How do you fit 9 1/2" holes in each pipe? Can't be much tin left. Can you take a picture of your exhaust. I did 4 on the Raider before just cutting the pipes short and removing the baffles.

Ya I put the 9th hole right in the center of the baffle with a 15" long 1/2 inch drill bit. I will go out and get you a pic in a bit.

Yessir. Had a minivan try to turn out in front of me the other day. He didn't even look when I let him have it with the pipes; he just slammed his brakes.

Since we are telling loud pipe stories here let me tell the story I have told once before somewhere on here.
Let me start by pointing out the sign on the tree in my profile picture. YES IT SAYS," BEAR COUNTRY".

Last year I was on my old Virago up on the road leading to my favorite spot, yes where that sign is. It's 6 miles or more from my house by narrow winding mountain road with over growth making it barely wide enough for a car and a 10 percent grade. To give you an idea it's 1,200 feet higher in elevation than my house is. And from my back yard in a straight line it's just over a mile. Any way coming around a corner something big and black caught my eye first though was COW, better slow down. Looked at my speed then looked up as I hit the breaks. What, not cow BEAR. It turned sideways taking up the hole road and looked at me . I was at 5 mph 20 feet from him/her with no where to go. The old Virago has shot gun pipes louder than some HDs . Pulled the clutch in and let it roar. the Bear Took 2 steps to the side and I saw enough room to get by his rear end and popped the clutch screeched the tire and hauled ass. Thought , Hey I got a cell phone get a picture. WTF dumb ass idea, and kept going. Took 2 hrs for my nerves to calm down. Loud pipes save lives.
