Exhaust Pipes
« on: May 31, 2006, 03:23:45 PM »
I would like input on the different brands of exhaust pipes for a VTX1300C...........

I want a deep rumble sound and not a rumble metalic sound. I like my Hard Krome Slip Ons but it has that metalic tinkle sound after the nice rumble........ 

It can be staggered but not pass my rear tire. I do not want a 2 in 1 either. I really like Jason's pipes but being my legs are so short my calf will be hitting the one that curves up over the big engine cover.... >:( I guess I could sit on Jason's bike and see if that will happen...... ::) 

I looked at V & H Straight Pipes but I don't know how they sound. Being the reason for this Post.

You can't go wrong with V&H, they sound great, no metalic sound and a great rumble  O0

If you like the stock pipe look as I do follow this link. I done this to my 1300R and it is awesome.

I've heard, on more than one occasion, that the Jug Huggers sound awsome on the 1300. I'd like to hear them. Any one got'em on a 1300?

I get nothing but compliments with my HK 3" pipes.
But they are loud.

Taz has the 3" HK and they look great and sound good too. I am toying between the Hard Krome Exhaust like the ones Jason (MrVTX) or the ones that Rex (Taz) has on their bikes.

The HK3s has a deeper sound.  I just put my Baffles back in and they are deep. O0

Steve (cybrhick) has the V&H BigShots with Thunder Monster baffles, and it has a good deep sound.  Mike (Girth) has the Jug Huggers on his 1300, and they sound good as well.

I have only heard the Jardines on one 1300 awhile back at a Meet 'N Eat at Wolfies, and they sounded awesome.

Marigold, you just need to pick out which ones you like...they will all sound pretty good.

Thanks for all of the replies.....  :D

I looked at my pipes and they don't look that bad. I decided to just wait.........
