The compromise is loss of power with "noise" (less back pressure). Many others on here have tried going for sound over original exhaust engineering, and have in-majority failed in tuning. Fellow forum member "Down$hift" went for loud, and his bike ran like a Honda Rebel 250. If you want the Harley sound, buy a Harley or other V-Twin. Myself, nothing sounds sweeter than the OEM pipes. "Farm Truck" if you catch my drift . . .Comment

Don't get your panties in a wad. Try a set of HD take-offs. They're slip-ons, and usually cheap at the dealer, as that crowd goes to Vance&Hines or similar for look/sound right from new. I've heard folks here picking them up for a little as $20pair from HD dealers. If too quiet, jerk the guts oughta' THEM

ALL Special yr. header pipes AND 81 Venturer do NOT have a short extension off the collector for any slip-on type muff.Last edited by motoman; 05-29-2015, 11:48 AM.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

And manufacturers are STILL making hideous, heavy and bulky exhaust pipes after all these years.
Think they can pack more onto this set up???? lol

They can't make 'em loud, so they make 'em look loud. 35 years ago stock pipes could howl pretty good.Marty (in Mississippi)
