Exhaust identification?

[krooozn]

I am going to get my bike in and see about getting the carbs re-jetted....my question is this......how the heck can I tell what kind of pipes are on the bike. All I can tell you is this...they are straight, seem to be the same size all the way out and the bends on them kind of come to a point instead of being curved.....I am just guessing that they are some type of drag pipe...they are really loud, that I can tell you and they do have baffles in them. I just would like to know so that I might be able to find the jet kit instead of paying a shop's parts markup.....

Any guesses anyone.....? I can try to take a couple pictures tomorrow and post them here.....if that will help.

Thanx...Anita

Good idea to post those pictures and maybe one of us can figure out the brand. Is it a Shadow? What year and model would help too.

I tried to get a couple pics of the exhaust, but just no way to get a really good shot of them and they have heatshields attached that really block seeing the bends really good. And I was mistaken about the bends, they are a curved what looks like to be about a 45 degree bend...it was the heatshields that I was seeing that I thought were the bends...and they do give it a more square appearance....anyway...I have done some looking around on my own and I think they are 2" Cobra Drag Pipes....that is exactly what they look like by looking at the pictures of these pipes on the internet. So hopefully I am correct and when I take the bike in to be re-jetted I'll have some idea and can possibly get the kit on my own without having to pay the shop markup.

Thanx again Bazooka for your response.....I love this forum! Cause it takes a whole village to keep me on the right track! :Pepper:

I like em, but I agree that the Cobra pipes are really LOUD on the Shadows and VTXs even with the baffles in. At least they can here you coming.
