Well w/o much luck in finding any I liked I decided to fabricate my own. At the present $250 for chrome is not in the budget but polished SS next year might be. These our painted with VHT "Cast Iron" high heat.

Could have gotten airflo stacks with that cut for  around $140 shipped already chromed.

Nice Valk, can tell she is well cared for!

I actually like that color you used on there, well done!

I bet an entire exhaust that color would look pretty good, perhaps the blued Cobra or Two Brother header pipes would look good that color.

Thank you. I have $35 invested  and its the look I wanted plus it changed the sound to a mellower sound where the stockers was a little "tinny" sounding. Momma likes them better sound wise when shes on the back. These are 1 1/2" longer than stock also.  The color was what I invisioned them to look like and it turned out really well. These are .065 wall thickness where the stock was .045 which by their shape and thinness contributed to the "tinny" sound IMO. I like the color so well I think I got enough to do the radiator grille which is red similar to the pin stripe color.

I agree with Punisher - those look great.  I bet the whole exhaust that color would look good.  Good job brother. cooldude

looks cool, can't beat the price for sure.

If I had 700+ bucks just laying around, these would be my #1 choice:

Now, if a 4" set came around my way for a couple hundred bucks being used, I'd be jumping on that one ASAP for sure.

My piggie's were cut by the original owner so my sound was already altered. I'm not a fan of loud pipes/sound but a mellow roar is just fine to me. I travel in residental areas @ nite and yes I keep the rpms down to avoid detection.  Smiley All in all the "quest" turned out very satisfactory for my ears.  Wink Again thank you for the input fellow Valk folk.
