SHARKROAD Black 2" LAF Drag Pipes Wrapped Exhaust For Harley Touring Softail Sportster 1984-2020 with Flange Kit

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I bought this for a 2008 Harley Davidson Rocker C. The pipes come in a box very professionally packed and brings everything you need to install them (except the tools of course). I installed them by myself and it took me about 15 minutes. This pipes are VERY LOUD and have a nice and deep sound. I read in other reviews that the black finish tends to fade after little use so I plan to give them a coat or two with a 2000° high temperature spray paint, no big deal!, also I will be wrapping them up. I'm very happy with the look and the sound.

Okay so I was pretty skeptical about getting pipes that were so cheap, but I needed a different set of pipes to be able to swap my foot controls over to forwards so I pulled the trigger on these. After removing the old pipes installing these only took about 15 minutes, and I am not a mechanic by any means. Doesn't come with instructions, but realistically you don't need any. Shipping only took a few days and they came packed up really nice and included all the parts, they even arrived with the heat wrap already on them. They come with a bracket to hook them together, but don't even bother trying because they will 100% not line up. They literally just hang off the engine, but it's okay because they're insanely lightweight. Be sure to hook up the O2 sensors before mounting to the engine, or you could just use the plugs that were included in the box to fill the holes. I definitely recommend getting your bike tuned after installing these, as you should do with any exhaust/air filter change. These will cause your bike to run pretty hot which COULD burn out the exhaust valves in the engine, so definitely get your bike tuned. Obviously they are pretty loud, can be a bit obnoxious if you're not wearing a full face helmet. Overall these are some solid pipes, the paint is nice and won't fade from heat. The heat wrap has been losing some of the black though, which isn't that big of a deal. I've rode about 400 miles into these pipes and they're definitely the best pipes you can get for the price.

Really not much more can be said. these are great pipes. i removed a set of V&H short shots from my '04 XL1200R. nice pipes but they are never going back on my bike. what a pain...but i digress. these drag pipes are just as solid quality as big name brands. install was as easy as can be with simple tools. i shot the seller an e-mail right after purchase asking they make sure the flange and gasket set was shipped with them. they replied right away and said they would be in there and they were. fast shipping and they sound bad ass. my 23 year old son just shook his head and walked away. :) i did pick up a set of Gman GPOPS and installed them to get a little back pressure. i admit i lost a little grunt off the line still, but once i hit about 3k on the tach....hold on!!! no other power loss and even smoothed out a bad flat spot i had in the mid to upper mid revs. i am sold and will buy these again if/when i need new pipes. fyi..i did not wrap mine...yet. and i have not noticed any extra heat on the leg. HAPPY NOISE MAKING!!!!

2001 HD Sportster Custom XLCContext:I ride only my motorcycle.I rode these for 3k miles up this review.Daily ride time is 20 Minutes.Full deterioration occurred rapidly upon taking are job 45 minutes away. Monday had the faded look (which I do like). Saturday there were holes exposing the rusty looking pipes beneath.Keep in mind I ride in Florida, most of my riding was in the rain.Pros:-Function, install and fit is 100% perfect.-With added baffles from eBay, (see photo) this created more low end torque and quieted the sound a smidge. They're still nice and loud-thsts what I'm looking for anyway. The torque baffles were just a thing I liked. Not necessary.Cons:Cons:-The black pipe with wraps melt off on daily long rides of 45 minutes or more with 5 consecutive days.-I suggest the chrome with Titanium wraps, those won't melt!!-If you just have black, get the plain black they are great. If you just have black on black wraps, take the time to put extra Titanium wraps over the existing black on black wraps. These pipes are already a great deal so spend a little extra to protect the look you want.Inquiring with customer service at the time of this review. They have shipped me a brand new pair asap no issues. They sent me the photo of the black vs chrome wrap types. This is why I suggest getting chrome with Titanium wraps, that's what I'm getting as replacement to my black with black wraps.THANK YOU SHARKROAD!!!

Love the pipes look pretty neat!!! And decent finish would have gave it 5 stars except I did not receive flanges and the o2 bung plugs were not included as described in the product description!!...WELL I MUST SAY I LOVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!.....I emailed shark road they responded same day and shipped out over night what I was missing my product is now complete and I could not be happier going to upload some pics one I begin install!! Over all very satisfying product nice mean look and I cant wait to hear the sound!!! Thank you very much sharkroad.
