(More customer reviews)I installed these Big Shots pipes ($450) on my 2006 Midnight Warrior. The first issue I had is that the heat shields are attached to the pipes using hose clamps. This means that when the pipes are installed, two hose clamps are visible near the back wheel - cheesy. The brackets that were furnished for mounting the rear pipe section and the rear brake cylinder had peeling paint and corrosion -not impressive at what I consider premium pricing. The muffler bracket was very heavy - could have been drilled or sectioned for lightness at this price.
The moment of truth came when I fired the bike up - a glorious but ridiculously loud sound. In my neighborhood, this hooligan din level would make me persona non grata so I ordered the "quiet baffles" which should be standard equipment. Again a ding on quality - I had to re-wrap the fiberglass on the quiet baffles because they would not fit in the pipes. At $26.99 each that is a poor show. They do work as advertised though. The bike has a solid bass tone but not the deafening and thunderous rasp with the standard baffles. One of the stock baffle retaining screws was stripped also :-(
Overall I recommend these pipes for those looking to liven up their stock Warrior but I feel that at the price paid, I should not have to deal with quality control issues or pay for overpriced poorly made baffles just to get a reasonable sound level. The sound is much better than stock and judging by the change in mixture richness I am guessing there was a pretty big reduction in backpressure. I have not had a chance to ride the bike yet.
