 Fuggin Fabrications Mayhem 2:1 Ceramic Black

Sick sounding pipes. They are loud, but not as loud as I thought they would be. They have a nice rumble at idle, and fire up pretty good when you snap the throttle. I got them through Pipe City, and they were a joy to work with. Absolute best customer service experience I have had in a long time.

 Those are the same pipes I was wanting.They look just like I thought they would.Do they come with any type baffle? Do you think they sound louder than the samsons?They look super good on your bike.

 They are only slightly louder than the Samsons. They do have baffles, and come with regular baffles. FF offers a "quiet" baffle that lowers the Db by a few. They are really not as loud as they look, but they have the right pitch to shake plate glass windows and set off alarms in parking lots. 

Those are nice man!

Let's hear them!!!

Someone wanted to see better pics of the bike not just the exhaust so here is a better shot.

 Thanks to Terry aka DadsWarrior on his Samson Short Slasher exhaust. He polished 'em up real nice for me, then helped me install them. The sound? Pure sex! God I love it loud. I'm turning heads at all the local hangouts now.

Just couple shots of the Samson Street sweepers (dear god loud) i might have to get baffles for them we will see how much my neighbor complains when i come home at 11:30 pm after work

Vance & Hines Big Shots,  not too quiet, not too loud.  Love em....

 I just built a new set of these and they're for sale in the classifieds. 

Swapped out my recently fitted V&H big shots for some Hard-Krome 2-in-1 Xccelerators....just to give them a try out... They sound good, but maybe not as loud as the Big Shots...look quite nice though... Thoughts lads.....?

 Hard Kromes...?     against....

Big Shots...?

I'd say both systems really suit the bike Chillo. They both follow the lines of the bike spot-on. Now it's up to yourself for the sound. Lol.

Did you get the rear fender sorted out as well ?

Gav.

Thanks Gav... I like both the HK pipes and the Big Shots...but the HK's are staying on for the summer...

Yeah, eventually...after 11 weeks..?? The Manager at the shop kept taking the welder off my job to do other work whilst I was away overseas...so when I returned, my fender wasn't ready...despite my being promised it would be ..!  Naturally, I went Ape with him and they got it sorted for me in 3 days flat....

Now it fits perfectly over my fat 280 and I can ride it slammed, as I also installed (with Mongo's help....thanks Nik!) a set of Rons (Ram396) Adjustable links as a mechanical stop....

I still want to have my bike painted Gav, but maybe later this year now as, since the Summer is here, I want to get out riding as much as I can...

Keep in touch..

Will
