I have had excellent luck with the Ron Wood pipe,it is a complete system and the only one that is rubber mounted for less vibration.If you buy the spark arrestor it can be tuned for sound output,also the stock heat shield bolts right on.Some people say the muffler sticks out beyond the grab bar and can drag if you flip over but this has not been an issue for me and I am a wheelie maniac.An after market grab bar or six pack rack will stick out farther than the muffler if you prefer

Thanks Bearman. I thought about the ron wood pipe but a friend of mine had one and it was vary loud. I didnt know it was tunable. Is it a disc type spark arrestor? If I remember right isnt his pipe pretty pricy?

Yeah it is a bit pricy but I broke my Graydons middle mount twice and my big gun rattled and leaked from every connection joint.Spend the extra money the first time and avoid the extra expense and time shipping pipes back and forth having them repaired.The spark arrestor is a disc type and fully tunable.

Well I opted for the alba pipe because the price was just too good. Im usually a get what you pay for type. I just hope that it doesnt come back and bite me.

DSwolf, How was the fit and finish When you got it and after you put some hours on it. Did you have any trouble with leaks or the ceramic coating flacking off?

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE FIT IS THAT IT WAS VERY TIGHT WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LEAK AT ALL.THE FINISH IS ALSO GREAT ,IT DID FADE A BIT NEAR WHERE THE TWO PIPES CONNECT TO THE CYLINDER,HOWEVER I DID BRING THE TWO PIPES RED HOT (SO RED HOT I COULD ALMOST SEE THROUGH THEM).IT DID NOT FLAKE AND IT STILL LOOKS GREAT,IT HAS BEEN ON MY DS FOR ALMOST A YEAR.IF YOU DO BUY IT LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK? BY THE WAY IT ALSO COMES WITH A SUPERTRAPP SPARK ARRESTER,K&N AIRFILTER,MAIN JET,OUTERWEARS.


SEE YA
