    Wicked Bros Cobra finally here

    After approx 5 1/2 weeks and a minor breakdown in communications between Pipe city and Wicked bros , my Cobra 2 into 1 in here.

    Chrome with interior ceramic coating. It is also has a double wall construction. I ordered the heat sheilds but I may not use them.

    First impression is WOW!!!  The fit and finish on this pipe in second to none. Quality is the best Ive seen on a pipe. It is head and shoulders above the previous PCS pipe I had and any other Ive seen.

    Sound is awesome , it has the same sound as the PCS but not as loud. I am using the same map I had made for the PCS pipe and it seems to run great , pulls hard.

    I will post further updates as I put more miles on it.

    Heres some pics.

     Looks nice. Is that running a single tab support off of the swingarm pivot support? Its what it looks like in pic 3.

    Love the look of the new pipe. After going back and forth several times between pic #2 and the last pic in your galley, it appears that the pipe sits at least 1.5 inches lower than the Monster pro pipe when you look right below the swing arm pivot point. Having the Monster Pro Pipe myself, I have not touched it down yet but based on what people I have ridden with have told me, It has come extremely close to doing so. I will be interested to see how this pipe fares on the twisties. Let us know.

    Thanks .As far as hitting in the twisties , I had the Monster also and hit several times at the Dragon this past April at the very tip of the pipe but I had it lowered pretty good . This pipe does drag as I busted its cherry just an hour ago on a not to bad curve, just touched on the bottom of the end of the pipe . I may have to raise it back to stock height an see how it does.

    Technically its not baffled but They told me there are internals that help back pressure . The only thing I can see is a little pecker sticken up in the pipe. anyone know what this is?

    I'll be taking it to the Duc shop for a check up soon and I'll let you know.

    Those look really great.  I cant seem to find them at the Pipe city web site. How much were they? I'm comparing pipes, and those look awesome.

    It does come down pretty low....but looks fantastic. Wicked and Pipe City are out of the equation for me now. Pipe City won't ship to Canada now. BastardsSuper Angry. And, Wicked won't respond at all. Screw them.Storm

    I've contacted Dale Walker about his Holeshot pipe, and if it weren't for the fact that it was all black, I'd buy one. Looks like it's gonna be the Muzzy 2 into 1 now, found it for $489, plus shipping to Canada USPS. 

     Great pipes...glad you finally got them and are happy with the BS you had to endure for them!!!Yes

    Re: Wicked Bros Cobra finally here

    Is that turn-out tip welded on or a bolt on piece?

    What would be the chance that you could give me a inner diameter of that tip where it meets the pipe?Big Smile
