Loud whistles save lives. Besides, they look great.

Installation was pretty easy. Just make sure you give your exhaust pipe a good wipe before you start so the oil doesn't get on your fingers or leave marks on the pipes. Also, because the exhaust flange is different and larger than standard pipes, the exhaust flange nuts do not reach the cylinder bolts. Some smoke may come out of the cylinder flange on initial start-up, but this should disappear after a minute. I would also recommend checking the exhaust flange nuts after a short ride. Do not…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Looks sick and sounds sick!

Installed it myself on my 2021 Iron 883 in about 2-3 hours. I took my time. It wasn't difficult if you had manual skills. I also ordered V&H exhaust flange gaskets. They fit perfectly. I've seen reviews saying pads don't fit, but that sucks. $10 for pads. Either way, they make the bike sound like the real Harley you hear on the streets. Regular whistles are nothing compared to them. Yes, they are a bit noisy when no "Silent Baffles" are installed, but the sound isn't funny. I love these…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Weight

NO COMPARISON! for parts

SICK! These whistles are simply AMAZING! I have a 2015 Harley 1200 Sportster 48 with a large Screaming Eagle air intake. These tubes make a bike for men. They look EVIL and sound EVIL! I hated riding bikes with stock tubes. The stock whistles sounded like a scooter compared to these whistles, I'm not kidding. What a difference to ride a bike with these new inner tubes. The snarling of the trumpets sounds SO TERRIBLE! Now my wife can hear me from a block away. She used to hardly hear me in the…

  • Excellent price

They sound and look fantastic and weren't too difficult to install (in my opinion)

I'm starting with a Fedex curse because mine arrived slightly damaged and the box is open. One of the heat shields received several scratches. I'm not urging the seller at all. Shipping was fast and everything so it's not their fault. I have contacted them and you can return them but they will require you to return the entire package (no thanks). Since the scratches were relatively minor, I bought a small Revain high-temp pen. So far this works quite well. You can still see where they've been…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
