I’d like to hear a good quality sound clip. I doubt they would be for me as your disclaimer is spot on. If I did want to turn my bike into a dedicated drag bike I’m sure I’d get them but I ride mine on the road and for full multi day rides.

Because I absolutely love the look of the stock exhaust (though stock is a little quiet) I wouldn't put them on my bike, but I definitely appreciate them. I'd love to see and hear them in person.

I know I love the sound of the Carpenter pipes on @mexican 240 Carpenter bike. Made the ground vibrate next to me at every stoplight. Feel they would just be wasted on a stock bike like mine.

More details Lupe or I'll just think it's just an age thing.

Wow, I thought it was too early for 'spring*' issues.

I would be game except for a big flaw in my eye which is the most forward pipe is squared off instead of one smooth radius like the other two. Just looks really off.
