Looks sharp. I like the 2-tone.  I couldn't tell you if it's a cobra, couldn't say.

Looks like the Cobra Peace Pipe I had on mine before I got a complete stock system. I still have it (and I;m keeping it) in case I change my mind. I didn't need a power commander, and even with my intake mods, I still don't.

As has been indicated it looks like the Cobra designed Peace Pipe exhaust. They had problems because they were hard mounted. Make sure there is no cracking in the exhaust. If its hard mounted... use the mod that converts it to rubber mounting. Hard mounted it will eventually crack and there is a LOT of vibration.

Usually without multiple changes, a simple exhaust change would require an add on FI box. My Big Willys were an exception to that rule.

Not that you made a bad choice, but what part about it didn't you like?  Just for curiosity sake...   There are no wrong answers when it comes to one's bike choices.  Well, actually I guess I have seen a few....
