Anyone try these and is it worth buying?

I just bought a used set. I like em. Different fit and look than the round akras. They're oval and sit in tighter under the tail. Only had the bike running for 5min but they sound nice. Pretty much the same as akras but a bit bassier and deeper. Not tried them with the db killers in.

Came on the bike when I got it, but I'm happy with them. I would comment on the sound but can't remember what it's like normally, as I need to change the graphite gasket . I run with the baffles in and at the mo it is still a nice tone low revs/idle.
If it's a decent price, go for it, they are worth the money.

After asking the questions etc etc it seems an airbox, pipe, map revamp is worth the effort.
You guys are great

They have what appears a 6 in tube that can fit in the end of the can with a smaller diameter, not installed.
Also in the kit is a set of discs with holes lasered in them, does anyone know what they are. If they do go in with the restricters it seems overkill.
They are nice and will be a winter project.

I typically run without the baffles. They are very mild with baffles in except on WOT, but with baffles out they are still half as loud as a hardley, the difference is they sound great (never obnoxious).
great purchase!

That being said I have carbon fibre pipes.. I think they sound much better than all the metal sleeved pipes

I think those are what LV refers to as the db killers. When I installed mine I put the discs in and left the restrictors in the tail cones. I live in the city and come and go early morning and late nite, so I don't want to irritate the neighbors to much. The first time my wife heard me coming down the alley, she said they sounded "meaty". I also don't want to be viewed as one of the HD lets be loud crowd.
I've driven alongside cops with this set-up and they don't even look.
It's got plenty of roar when I open it up!
