- October 28, 2013, 03:19:30 AMI made my own straight shots for my V star 1100, and fabed some "lolli pop baffles. Its very easy providing you have access to a welder, use 2 5/16 bolts about 1'' long... weld a 5/16 or 3/8 flat washer(vertically) to the top of each bolt...drill a hole in the bottom or side of your pipes about 4'' from the rear....thread a nut on each bolt till it bottoms out, put bolt inside pipe thru the hole and thread a nut on the bolt from the outside to tighten down. You can then adjust the profile of the baffle to suit your tastes.

That is so cool, can not wait till I am old........

- September 25, 2013, 13:33:52 PMI run with Hard Krome headers, yes they are straight pipe. Looks a lot like the Long shots. During DI-2010 They couple from Louisiana had designed a way to quiet their Long shots. He used two washers (what looked like sink drain items) He off set them a little so when you tightened them they would lock in place in the exhaust pipes. This lowered the noise a lot and still gave it a nice sound without the loudness). Wish I could help you more.

Rarely, do they let us out on the street. I try to sneak out as often as possible, as I have a cult to run. It's a full-time business keeping my members pacified and milked of their life savings.They actually allow you to have your bike in the confines of the retirement home?

I have hardkrome's on my 800 and they are louder than my liking. I get the impression they are similar to the long shots, from appearance and descriptions given on here. I'm in the market for a 1500 and wanting roadhouse exhaust, but they're hard to find. Any idea how the cobra compares?
The peace pipe is louder than the stock exhaust, and has a nice "crack" about 4500 rpm...I still have it, and no, it's not for sale.

- September 15, 2013, 19:03:38 PMQuote from: CDNRatMan on September 15, 2013, 11:01:31 AMI have Longshots and I live around a lot of fussy people that are bored with life. So when I pull out in the morning, or whenever, I try to putt-putt out really slowly with very little throttle. So far, no complaints.I have the Roadhouse system on my 800, aralph, and a neighbour 2 doors down has complained to my next door neighbour that my bike is very loud at 0630 - 0700 in the mornings.....( ride to work three mornings if weather allows) I start the bike at the top of the drive way, pipes are faced away from her home, and it idles about 3 mins before I take off and away from her house.
She stopped complaining when a friend came over with his 1100 Areo and the V&H longshots on it......

- September 15, 2013, 18:06:00 PMI've ordered a set of baffles from Big City Thunder.
And may have even sourced a pair of the twin-fin caps 
Posted by aralph
- September 15, 2013, 11:10:26 AMThese pipes do sound different on other bikes.
Shortly after I took the baffles out of mine I met a guy with a
Honda with the same pipes and he made me seem quiet.
Huge difference.
