I have the stock 2 into 1 fishtail system on my 800 and it's way too quiet for me. I've been looking for a replacement but haven't found anything except for Hard Krome pipes. I'd be more than happy to attempt a swap if at all possible. I'm not sure what kind of time frame you were thinking of though.I recently acquired my 2003 800 with big, loud Cobra pipes on it. They look fantastic but are just too loud for me. I like the look of the original 2 into 1 fishtail, but notice so many people replace them. I am in the process of trying to get the fishtails but wonder WHY so many have been replaced. How do they sound? Are they whiny or tinny? Are they loud or fairly quiet? Trying to get anything at all for my beauty that fits is proving to be grueling. Any guidance is appreciated (but I am pretty determined to fishtail it).

- December 01, 2014, 19:41:16 PMYes ...sorry PO = previous owner, and in some cases yes Idiot.
I was very lucky my PO was a pretty cool dude. he found the exhaust after I bought the bike and gave it to me, only the cost of gas to go and get it.
The roadhouse is what I think of as a nice mellow sound not overly loud and not old person quiet. When I start the bike at 0630 to go to work or head out on a long ride I do not bother the neighbours, and on a long ride with just my beanie helmet I am still ok after a 8 hour ride.

- December 01, 2014, 16:33:01 PMThanks...not sure what PO means, but this certainly helps. Quiet I don't mind because I take a lot of extended rides at highway speeds and the Cobras make my ears ring! I really don't need to be heard, to be seen

- December 01, 2014, 14:52:35 PMI have the stock 800 pipes, the PO found them and has given them to me, so I tired them, I can start the bike, and walk around and really not hear it, it is really quiet, it is no wonder he switched to the Roadhouse exhaust system. The Stock is really quiet.
