Took me a couple hours. The quality of the pipes is great, but not the quality of the instructions. You get 1 sheet, with two tiny black and white pics. Looks like a photocopy of a photocopy. It wouldn't be bad, but there's a few spots where I was saying, "What the hell are they talking about?"

Installing the rear headpipe is a pain. Worse is getting the shield on it. Rest of it is fairly easy.

When I finally fired it up I was kinda surprised by the sound. Not as loud as I thought it would be. Deeper tone over stock, and a nice burble to it. As soon as I revved it a little, I was "Oh, yeah!" They definately sound nice when you put a load through them.

Driving on the street, even when getting on it isn't hard on your ears. Most likely due to the length. I know they're a lot louder behind me.

I'll post some pics in a bit, and even try to get a vid up on photobucket, if I can. My recommendation to anyone thinking of these pipes is they're great, if you're wanting an upgrade to sound and looks, without having your eardrums ringing after a ride.

Nice job on the install. I've got Samson TD's as well. The instructions that comes with the pipes are pretty lame...I agree with you on that.

It looks good, sounds good, and you got it done quickly. I've heard from more than one person that the left side heat shield can be a pain to install.

Thanks for putting out the effort to post up the video.

I'm tackling my new Porker pipe first thing Monday. I put the 2 into 1 up to the stock pipe and it doesn't look like its going to fit. We'll see Monday.
