- May 06, 2013, 23:52:36 PMHey IBI-UBU,
I did have my carbs rejetted. It was recommended to switch for the dynojet stage 1. I swapped for those and the bike is running great. Pretty loud though. I'm worried I may need to find a way to quiet them down so I don't get harrassed by the law.

Without having to make mods to another vendor's pipes, this one was relatively painless to install. Everything fits perfectly, no mods needed. Just some nuts and bolts (those were a bitch due to where they were situated). Otherwise, easy install and they are f-ing loud. Beautiful sound...maybe a little on the loud side but I like that. I have a picture posted in the general discussion board.
Thanks...just wanting to get my ducks in a row...and know what I'm getting into...

I too would like to have an exhaust system somewhere in the middle of stock and straight pipes. Just a low rumble, not so loud that I can't hear my mp3 player .
In my younger days I wanted as loud as it would go....Ive mellowed out over the years.
We did that to the one I have...it didn't change the sound enough to notice....

- April 25, 2013, 19:10:39 PMI just recently completed installing a set of V&H Cruzers. They're not made for the mounting set-up of the stock drifter exhaust, but it really only took a few simple mods, and the fabrication of a simple steel bracket plate. These pipes sound incredible, lightened the bike by about 15-20 lbs. I will say that I love the fishtail style, but the stock exhaust is just unsafe, cars don't hear you, and you don't hear yourself.
I plan on posting pictures and process steps on the mod page as soon as I have time for it.

- March 17, 2013, 13:58:32 PMI know, somewhere this has been brought up before, I just can't seem to find it anywhere, so don't everyone at once jump on me. Looking for some "louder" pipes for the 800 Drifter. I don't want to "destroy" the stock one, because in a few years I'll be moving back to Germany to retire (for good) and the Germans are very anal about noise pollution. Don't really want to pay tons of money, for V & H or any other name brands, but I like the look of fishtails, I believe it goes with the style of the bike. So guys and gals, give me your thoughts or suggestions on what I should do. (I just sold my 2008 HD Nightster, which was tooooo loud. Don't want that sound anymore)
