New Rocket X Vance & Hines 4" Pro Pipe

Roughen up the chrome with some 0000 steel wool and hand paint it with hi-temp barbeque paint, then it will match the blacked out headers.
 
Nice looking can. I think I would find a chrome header and heat shields to run with it and save the black for when you sell the bike if ever. Or better yet maybe try a larger ID Custom header to the can. Paul Bryant might have what the doctor orders. Also Maybe a CES header in a larger ID would work well also.

This was not as easy as I thought it was going to be to put on. Hardest part was to get from the header pipe to the muffler, had to make 2 90 degree bends to get it to line up, just welded together 2 pieces of pipes that I had laying around from old exhaust from my Harley's. Had to lengthen and weld on the horizontal piece where the muffler mounts. I was lucky in that my friends at the Harley shop had this pipe as I know they are bad ass on all the high HP builds on a Harley (is there such a thing in comparison to this beast? LOL) anyway, this was a brand new pipe that apparently had a very few superficial scratches on it and a customer wanted it removed so I picked it up for a good price and wanted to make sure it would work before I did anything to it. The bike does have some chrome on it so I figured it would look ok if I decided not to ceramic coat it black, so don't fret CanberraR3 you winey ass legend in your own mind ( just my opinion ) even if you aren't, I would comment anyway LOL!! I probably will have it done in black. It really changed the way it runs, it has a pretty good (hunt) or serge at idle now and has the popping at deceleration. I took it and had the factory stage 1 download installed yesterday but it still does it, but at least I know it is getting more fuel. This is such a high flowing pipe it doesn't have hardly any back pressure at all and it does sound really good on the Triumph too. Not real annoying (like CanberraR3) !!! When I was at the dealer yesterday after the download was installed and it was still Hunting the service manager took one of the square absorbent pads (for soaking up oil on the ground) and folded it up and started gradually covering the end of the exhaust pipe....for more pressure, and the Hunting went away then as soon as he would remove it it would start again, we did this a couple three times to make sure. So basically he said if it didn't bother me too much to run with it as long as it is running fine when going down the road and until I get my Ramair and either a PCV with auto tune or a Doebeck with the auto tune.
 
@Brenna1960 Standard Bore suits you too. :p
No need to get all huffy because I have a few things to say. Isn't that why you posted it; to get some feedback? 8 posts and laying the boot in already. Maybe try to get a feel for the place before carrying on like a child.
Seems everyone, me included, is pretty interested in that exhaust pipe. But guess what. You're not the first person to mod a Rocket.
 
Its a pretty minimal effort to not act like a dick. Seriously, guy put some time into this and if you don't care for it, its pretty easy to just not comment. Or comment more constructively.

Oh ok I submit, I submit,what is this boot camp? Your not allowed to say anything to an obvious stupid ****, pretty easy to tell just by other comments about your dumb ass. Now go find another post to put negative **** on and quit being so miserable in life, you found the wrong newbie....you won't get the last word!
