    I am looking to change the look and performance of my bike and I decided I am going to change the exhaust system. I am looking for something that will be sure to add some power and style alike. Here is what I am considering:

    Drag Specialties

    or

    Part# XL4FF12 Bassani Exhaust - Bassani.com

    I am open to other suggestions.

    Performance wise go Bassani, I have the pro streets on my 124 and being a 124 well it makes it louder..

    I will warn you, THEY ARE FREAKING LOUD, I don't mean
    loud, wake the neighbors loud I mean, **** theirs a cop loud....

    Loud enough that nobody I ride with will ride on that side of my heritage loud.

    But they sound great under WOT look kool and work...

    I like the sound of those pipes. The thing that I am looking for the most is performance, something that actually uses the back pressure that is needed. the ones I have on now are nice, but under utilizes the pressure.

    these are very well made three step headers,
    they flow a lot of air


    I know you like it

    LOUD!

    These will fit the bill...

    Thanks for the information. I think that these are going to be the ones that I get. A bonus for me with these pipes is that I most likely will not have to redo my brake pedal because those pipes are tucked in. I think I am going to have to bite the bullet though and pay the high price for those heat shields. OH well. :(

    How do those pipes create back pressure??
    Are you going to have any low end power?

    Too bad that I do not have anyone that could borrow me a set so I could dyno and compare the two sets of pipes against each other. That would be nice but dreaming.
