Look good (to me) sound good, and perform somewhat better than the V&H I had on there...though that's likely due to the fact that it was properly tuned.
If you're thinking about them--you should plan on either being prepared to scrape hard rights or taking them a little easier. I scraped em' on the first right I took, though I tend to take em' sharp anyway ;-)
Might look into anti-reversion cones. They pop-pop-pop on decel despite the fact it isn't lean, no leaks, etc. Might not be an issue on bigger engines, but I'm guessing it's due to the headers and pipe length.

anti-reversion aka torque cones do come in handy; and of course you can get them from DJ!

We'll see. Do they actually work? Not expecting them to give me anything except for a bit more normalized exhaust flow. If they don't I can still live with it, it's just one more thing for me to screw with and if it works then great :-P
They look great dood! Truly awesome lookin with the 2 pipes per cylinder and then to the collector. And Flat Black makes look *****!n!
I don't know about you but I like the back rapping that my pipes have on deceleration. Makes me smile every time I roll the throttle back from a high rpm.

Somehow I missed the thread until just now... The pipes look badass! You're going to get a lot of compliments. As for the noise, you'll get used to it!

Already have got quite a few. They sounds awesome...and they're not exactly dogs in terms of performance either. I jammed on it a few times after work today when I had open road and it (the bike) pulls pretty damn hard when you ride it hard. I just hope I don't saw through em' too quick. Took a long sweeping right today and all I heard was metal Guess that's the fun-o-meter goin' off :-P
