honda 750 magna...changeing pipes

Am trying to customize my own bike. Paint and seat changes so far. Would like to know other experiences with Supertrapp 4 into 2 specifically or other recommendations. I like the speed but am afraid with too much noise, I may end up with too many tickets....any suggestions with difficulty of installation plus slip ons VS full change out. I have heard the Supertrapp tuneables do not need a jet kit..... and drag pipes by Jardine just toooo loud... thanks, cokeman............Finally getting some clue to how this website works......
Had a guy from KC Creations here in KC tell me that he " just did not like the sound of Supertrapp............""......so I spent 330.00 on Jardine Drags. Good quality, easy to install......but after a week of LOUD......I actually put my stock pipes back on the left side.......looks a little odd.....but good sound and I can live with 1/2 the LOUD........Any MagnaManias out there that want a deal on two into two for the right side of their bike??......Cokeman

I know this is kinda late, but I'm new here. To tell you the honest to god truth. I drilled out the rivets on the exhaust put vise grips on the little 1" pipe and banged those suckers right out of the pipe. Fiberglass and all. I was going to do this just til I got some cobra pipes.. but sh!t..it sounds the same... It really isn't that loud[/FONT]

IMHO, Cobra products just plain sux! They're cheap and built that way. The quality of the chrome is non-existent. They begin to rust as soon as you pull them out of the box. Jardine are quite a bit better, though not my favorite either. But, those were the only choiced I had on the VX800 I was working with. I liked the cobra's look better, were cheaper, so I bought them first. There was spots of rust on the head pipes within 6 months and I did NOT neglect them! The welds were crappy and I had to bend some things to get them to fit. Never again.

Now, I really don't know what's available for the Magna, not really into cruisers all that much, but if you can get anything from Vance and Hinz, Yoshimura, M4, Akrapovic, D&D, you'd be a lot more satisfied with it. Most of those are sport bike pipe manufactures and I've not looked at their line regards to cruisers, but I know V&H has a huge line of quality cruiser stuff. If you can get it in stainless or titanium, it'll hold up far better to the elements. I live next to a salt water bay, so that's always big on my mind for pipes. I just do not like chrome, especially on pipes.

Thanks

[FONT=Arial Black]Thanks alot goose... I was under the impression that Cobra products were grade A quality... I haven't ever bought any cobra stuff so I am not sure how I came to that conclusion. I do believe Vance and Hines makes pipes for the Magna, so I'll have to look into it. The Magna is in pretty good shape now but I want to tear it down to the frame, stretch it and lower it a little bit. I plan on doin a little engine work to it so I need a pipe that will complement the mods not hinder it.
Thanks again[/FONT]
