i installed these on my buddies 2009 america today. i like the thunderbike but told him stainless was the way to go. i have BC pipes on my thunderbird and they sound good so i figure try them out on his. fit and finish were perfect, installl could not be any easier. they sound great, nice low rumble not to loud at all. maybe even quiter than the thunderbikes by a little. so i will put these up there as a pipe to look at when thinking of purchasing an exhaust

I'm glad to hear you like the BC pipes sound. I have a set on order for my America. Right now I have gutted stockers with one baffle remaining with 3 holes drilled in it. They sound good but just a bit too loud (to my ears). The BC Bomber pipes look good, are stainless, and (I'm hoping) are bit quieter while still retaining a deep sound. I'll post a review once I have them installed and test them out. There's not much info on them out there.

did you have to have the mapping done when you installed them, or were they just fit and ride?

I'm not sure whether you are talking about The BC's or the staintunes, but if it's the latter, they sound brilliant on the Bonny's.
You've probaby heard them before but if you haven't, they have their own particular note that makes them more distinctive and even more desiable. They're pretty expensive though, but if you do your research you'll understand why. Sounds (no pun intended) like you're happy with B C's though which is all that matters for now. Well done. Only another $20k+ of feeding the addiction. Lol

Anyone have any sound bites or videos of the BC's or any other exhaust to compare? Or know where to find any?

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
