I have a set of 6 into 6 pipes on the classified board and cannot find a manuf marking any where. I have been told since the ends are turn downs they are not Cobra. Help!!!!

If the ends are straight, they're Cobras. If the ends turn out, they're Two Brothers. The Cobras you can remove the baffles since the pipes are straight. Not so with the 2-Bros due to the curve at the end.

Sounds like the Two Bros., I have 'em on mine too. Headers are blued, but that is common with these pipes and doesn't bother me much. I kinda have a love hate relationship with them, but they are growing on me. They are attention getters, that's for sure. Don't forget your earplugs if you plan to ride the highways for any longer stretches.

Sounds like I have the Two Bros. Either way I do way to much riding to put up with the noise (My Wing has 208,000 on a 93) so they are going to a new home. I think my stock pipes have the Piggy's clipped and some of the baffels drilled but sounds nice to me. Not quiet like the Wing or loud like my Nomad with V&H baggers but more like a sports car.

Here's the best shot I have of the telltale rear turnouts on the 2bros that were on my bike when I bought it. They already looked like this when I got it with 3,5XX miles on the odometer. I sold them at 17,195 miles and went stock.  |

Yes that is what I have. Thank you. Apparantly they are not that popular though the bid is only up to $200
