I have seen some short exhaust pipes on some TBA's. Does anyone know where to get them?

How short are we talking? About the shortest I've seen are turnouts from JC Whitney.

These are Epco pipes, made by this company, http://www.epcostainless.com/
And available from here. http://www.newspeedmaster.com/html/epco_mufflers.html

JC Whitney sells 12" slip on Emgos. They are about $25 apiece.

Here's an old pic of my BA with the JCWhitney pipes. (since taking this pic, I have Leatherworks bags & a low prof. seat)



I think they look great, and pretty loud too.

The pipes from JC Whitney- Do you have to rejet, or can they just be "slipped on"

what did you do with your other bags. Do you have a pic of the new ones installed?

I have the old bags sitting in the garage. They're a little scuffed up from when I layed it over last year (my first year of riding).

I've been meaning to get some pictures of my bike and post them, but it keeps slipping my mind. I'll be heading out to NJ tomorrow to change the oil, I'll get some pics tomorrow if I remember.

I use speedmaster off road shorties on my TBA. Not too loud but makes sound like an old Triumph/Norton and not a Honda like the stock pipes sound

Mark,
The 12inch mufflers from JCWHITNEY you have, is there a set of pipes you would compare the loudness to ??
They look nice , right now I'm running the TOR and I like them but think I need a little more noise.
thanks,
Darryl

LOUD. Benny (bennybmn) has Epcos & Charlie (unclecharlie) has Bub's, and from what I heard, mine are louder than both.

I'm also running the JC Whitney short pipes with the turn out end. They are LLOOUUDD! I've been running them for about a year now and yes you do need to rejet. I'm changing back to my original Triumph pipes with all the baffles remove. The Whitney pipes are now getting on my nerves. Too loud. Plus I like the look of the longer pipes on the America.

The only thing that annoys me about the shorty turnouts is when I bring it into NYC, I set off EVERY car alarm on every block. Kinda fun at first, but now kinda annoying. But at least every other car can hear me...
