I installed RoadBurner Exhaust same as Hardchrome is the maker of both and very similar to VH Pipes. Now my Drifter has a healthy Siberian tiger roar and purrrr at idle and healthy heartbeat of cool sound. Every bike I ever owned stock sounded like a scooter and I changed to aftermarket to hear it. Now people who don't see me riding can hear it.Respectfully disagree. I love my bikes loud. Not only is it safer (other drivers hear you and so do deer) but it is definitely more fun to drive. My Drifter with stock pipes is so quiet and boring that I wouldn't ride it nearly as much as I do with loud pipes. I keep my stock pipes merely because if I ever sell it, it would make the sale more appealing.
To each his own but louder, for me, is definitely the way to go.
Safety wise when riding thru my residential area (NO sidewalks) people never heard me coming right after purchasing my Drifter, their walking dogs , kids riding bikes, people walking and I was concerned someone coming out in street , right in front of me since their moving in the same direction and don't see me coming. Now with aftermarket pipes, if they don't see me they can now hear me and look behind them as I come up the street. SO for Safety alone it's worth it 100%.
**Don't forget to buy two new exhaust gaskets. If you keep everything else stock like I did, i.e.- air cleaner there is no need to rejet bike.

I prefer stock pipes. Loud pipes are obnoxious and the only one who likes them is the owner of the motorcycle they are on.
As these bikes become more and more rare, the stock bikes will be worth quite a bit more than the butchered rat rod bikes.

My bike which I bought last year already had shotguns, very similar to Road burners, and I really didn't want aftermarket pipes. Well I've since made friends with them and have put in the correct baffles and so forth, but I would not mind having the stock 800 drifter exhaust. Too bad you're in Wisconsin and I'm in Washington.

- April 17, 2016, 08:40:58 AMWhen I got my bike the pipes had two scratches on them so as far as trading I don't think anybody would want them. I wouldn't want pipes with a couple scratches... Does anybody know how the stock sounds with baffles removed?
