Harley Pipes Archives

I want to know why Harley Davidsons can be as LOUD as they want, but if a guy puts headers on his Camaro with a converter and full pipes, then you get pulled over for disturbing the peace? This happened to my brother before in his mustang. It seems to be a little unfair. If you going to make a lot of noise and disturb the peace, might as well be a good V8 rumble and not what i sound like when i eat pizza and pass gas.

Does any one have a suggestion for a low sounding replacement muffler for a 2005 ElectraGlide?
I'm looking for something that isn't much louder than the stock mufflers.

will the pipes fit from an 07 twin cam fit an 05 of the same model?

25 miles on Bike blisters on thighs cannot ride in day light. Dealer says its my riding style. I cant ride standing on the seat.

2009 harley needs a great exhaust sound and who knows what works the best.

I have found 2 potential Sportster to buy for my next bike. One is a 2002 883 with 11,000 miles on it. it doesnt have many after market parts but looks like a clean bike. Its a private seller (in the midwest) and he is asking 00 for it. It looks like a really good deal, but should i be worried he is trying to rip me off some how? The second bike i am looking at is a 2000 883 with a lot of after market parts. Its a private seller, but the guy works for the local Harley Dealership, and it seems like the bike was taken care of. He wants 00 for it (originally 4700). The exhaust is LOUD..almost too loud (call me crazy). but i have to work early mornings and dont want to wake the entire neighborhood up while i pull out. What would be a good exhaust that would give me some roar, but that wouldnt kill my ears. I think the 2002 looks a little better, but am worried something might B wrong because of the lower price, plus i would have to drive 3 hours to go pick it up. Suggestions?

It is standard right now, but i want to fix it up nice but not pay more than i got!!!! It's an 08 superglide.

rineharts too loud for me and the new screaming eagles are not enough

I have bought a new set of pipes, and they are currently in the mail. What I was wondering is how do I take the exhaust flanges off the old set and install on the new set.This is for an 03 sportster 1200.

Just wondering if the Screamin' Eagle has a deep thunderous rumble sound or if it's a more high-pitched popping sound, kind of like a machine gun. Thanks!!!
To flattrack, it's a simple question. if all you have to do is sit on yahoo answers and troll all day, you should consider getting a job and quit mooching off the government. I didn't know how else to describe was I was trying to ask...if that offends you, get over it!

my harley davidson starts and idles just fine, but when i throttle up it spews fire from the exhaust

I have a 2006 Harley Road King and it has stock duals. I want to keep the look of the duals but I want it to be louder. I don't want to wake the neighborhood but I want people to hear me when I'm on the throttle. What kind of pipes or slip-ons would fix both of these? I haven't ever changed pipes before is it something that I can do pretty easy or should i just shell out the money and pay the harley shop to do it?

I have a 2005 Harley FXST softail standard with 88ci carburated engine, with Vance and Hines straightshots HS installed by Harley. I am wanting to put unbaffled Samson Groundpounders on it because I like the sound so much better. I am wanting to know if there are any pros out there who can tell me what if anything special I need to do to it first. I have heard lots of things about back pressure, reversion cones, torque cones, nothing at all, just slap them on. ect. ect.
I am needing help so I do it right. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Where I live nobody cares about the roar! Thanks in advance........

I thought true dual exaust pipes on a Harley was that both pipes where same length to the baffeles?

I am looking for ideas for a personalized plate for my Harley, and since I have Screaming Eagle pipes I was thinking of trying 'WHAT' as I can only use 4 characters and I would like something funny. Would most people get what this means without a question mark on the plate?
Hey Art......
Bought the bike with the pipes and you know something.... People notice I'm on the road more than a quieter bike. Ever hear 'Loud pipes save lives'? It's true for a motorcycle.

the guy at the harley shop says new samson pipes come with baffels that cannot be removed...is this true? if not how do i get more sound or remove them all together?

I have a 2004 sportster 1200. Right now it has screaming eagles on it but its not as loud as i want it to be.
I know there are a lot, but i want the loudest. If you have the loudest sportster around your block then want brand did you use?

I've got a 1983 Harley Sportster, and the shop that screwed me blind had the carb so fouled up my pipes are blue. What will restore them?

Like why cant Harley riders appreciate things like good engineering or technology and not just loud pipes and heavy ass chrome?
Yeah "grouse" I hear that all time, its the only comeback HD riders have in lieu of horrible specs. I have ridden them and yes I dont understand whats so great about a poorly handling machine thats slow and makes a lotta noise, and doesnt stand out from the crowd when you pull up at the spot.

i heard Jardine slash pipes are good for this bike in having a good low "rumble growl" that close to H D or is there another exhaust better at having a closer note to it? Thanks for any help.

Iv been told 120mph all the way up to 160mph
Just because you overpaid dosent make it fast
A couple of LOUD briggs & stratton cylinders
What a joke!!!!!!
Yes Iv been riding metric cycles for 17 years and proud of it! Not 1 ticket Not 1 accident.
