SHARKROAD 4" Chrome Slip-On Mufflers Exhaust Pipes For Harley Touring 2017-2021, Triple Steps Muffler for Better Performance, 21CC

I'm giving these pipes 5 stars, not because they're perfect, but because they're almost perfect, and the price is about a quarter of what my last set of Vance & Hines cost. They've been on my 2019 Road King for over a thousand miles, and I haven't noticed any bluing or blemishes. Also, I left the reversible end caps in the inverted position (the way they were shipped), which shows the inside of the pipes. I was concerned that the finish would deteriorate or something, but so far no problem. As you can see in the pictures the pipes stick out an inch or two longer than the stock pipes, but I think it looks good that way.Installation was easy. Both sides slid on and clamped up tight (using the original clamps) with no problem. The hanging mounting hardware was a little less robust than the original pipes (and the Vance and Hines), but from the point of view of a retired ASE Master Tech, I'm confident that it's totally adequate.If installing these slip-ons is the only mod you do on a fuel injected bike, you won't have to do any computer modifications or upgrades. I haven't noticed any difference in performance or fuel economy. Of course I like to imagine that I'm feeling a little more horse power due to slightly less exhaust restriction, but without a dyno test I couldn't swear to it.Oh yeah, and the sound? I love it! For full length, not true dual exhaust, It's probably about as loud as you're gonna get with leaving the catalytic converters in, which of course I KNOW nobody reading this would ever even consider removing!UPDATE November, 2021; After about a year of riding the insides of the end caps were looking pretty funky with exhaust soot and discoloration etc. So I reversed them and now the insides aren't noticeable and the outsides still look like new. I would also like to mention that I tried to remove the baffles but could only remove the right side one. The left one was in there to stay short of breaking out the torch. Regardless, with just the right side baffle removed it was too loud for my preference so I reinstalled it.

Pipes were reasonably priced, but it seems you get what you pay for. They seemed to be well made quality wise and the spiral baffles are cool. They went on easy, but they are hung differently than stock pipes and this caused a delay since I had to take them off and hang them using the Sharkroad system, which was self evident, but not covered in the instructions, because there were no instructions. That’s my only beef. That was my first warning. Otherwise, I was happy with the sound. A snarl when you need it, but not overpowering sound that would drown out music or phone calls. Two years later, the chrome is starting to bubble on tne end caps. Wrote to customer service 2X for some kind of relief, but they have not responded at all. Hindsight is 20/20, but spending a bit more up front, will save you $$$ in the end.

*Update* still love my pipes, my only wish is they came with stainless screws. I'm starting to get a little bit of rust around the screws.Love these new pipes! One came with a "blemish" in the chrome. One email to the manufacturer and I had a replacement within 5 days. Customer service is ON POINT!! Thank you so much for a great product & great service.

Although it states these will not fit any aftermarket headers, they do perfectly fit. My 21 SGS has a Stage 2 with Rhinehart Racing slimline header pipe and no cat with true Duals. These shark roads bolted on easily and fit perfectly perfectly. They make my bike look and sound amazing. I almost went with the Tabs with zombie baffles but there not much of a difference other than these are a third of the cost and I couldn't be happier. They come packed very well, and are of great quality. This is my 3rd set of Shark Roads, I just like the different styles and prices can't be beat. They really set off the rear end of the bike

couldn't beat the price. so its hard to complain, but here's my experience. Not as loud as I would like, but most of the newer bikes have a catalytic converter, so that alone quiets them down, I can always unpack the baffles if I really want it louder.mounting hardware on the rear hanger could use improvement. The stock pipes, the mounting bolts point downward, this mounting hardware , the bolts point up, and there to long, so the bolt rubbed a hole in the paint on the bottom of the bags. I used washers as spacers on the hex side of the bolt to shorten the distance, so they don't rub. also, lock washers ? really?? no locking nuts. I replaced them with S/S locking nuts.Other than that, fit and finish are excellent, I only have 1000 miles on them, so time will tell. so far I'm satisfied with the purchase.
