Nice set of mufflers

Looked at many different options for slip ons. I’ve previously used Vance and Hines on multiple occasions and wanted to switch it up and also have a different look. These slip ons are very nice quality with beautiful chrome and a nice rolled and flared tip. Being shorter and a smaller diameter than the stock muffler they look sharper and in my opinion very muscular on the bike. The sound is amazing! At idle they are deep but not obnoxious, even under moderate load they sound authoritative but not annoying. When you get on the throttle though they make the bike sound like a roaring pack of Tyrannosaurus Rexs! Great sound without any bad feedback and on long trips they do not make my ears ring. On top of all this the price is unbeatable for such a great quality product. I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a very pleasant deep rumble from their M8 Softail and doesn’t want to break the bank. Installation was a breeze and took all of 30 minutes.

So good!

When I was looking for slip ons for my 2019 Softail slim, I was looking to buy something that would be loud enough to be heard but wouldn’t cost $500 to do so. These were exactly what I wanted. A huge step up from stock exhaust, loud rumble as you go down the road but not deafening. The looks is sleek and fit perfect on my bike. So happy and would recommend to anyone looking.

No more sewing machine! A must-have upgrade.

Happy with this. Sounds good, easy to install, shorter than the OEM so it looks better. Some things I learned:<br /><br />- DO NOT re-use the OEM mount bolts. They are too long for this muffler. Use the ones that come with it. Follow the instructions! (-1 for this.)<br /><br />- You need 2 new gasket mufflers. HD part # 65900017. $30 total. Do not re-use the old gaskets. <br /><br />- Rotate the lower muffler to get the bracket away from the mount plate so you can slide it off. <br /><br />- Put a rag over the swingarm when removing the top muffler so you don't scratch it. Use a high-quality ball-end hex key on the top bolts. No need to remove the whole muffler bracket.<br /><br />- Wipe all your fingerprints off like a felon before firing it up. Use isopropyl alcohol. Lots of it. It's cheap.<br /><br />- You will smell the "new parts" oil burning off when you first use it. That's normal. It goes away in just a few miles.<br /><br />- This muffler is louder than it sounds on the YouTube videos. 7 / 10 loudness.<br /><br />- No tuning required.

Cobra NH pipes

I had to replace the stock pipes on my Street Bob ASAP. I didn’t have the money to get a full system, tuner and breather yet. These really give the bike a better look than the stock mufflers, they have the appearance of straight pipe. They sound a lot better than stock, their name would imply that they are extremely loud but that isn’t the case. They are louder than stock and give a nice deep Rome but they aren’t obnoxiously loud. Overall great value for the price.

Easy install, GREAT SOUND!!!!

I was hesitant about installing slip-ons over a full system, but the ease of install and the impressive sound, I am blown away. My bike instantly increased in power and performance and took my stock bike to the next level. Very impressed with Cobra and their products. These pipes exceeded my expectations by far!
