Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust D & D pipes

Since he sold his TBA, Donny told me he would sell me his old D&D pipes for a good price. I don't know though, I think they would be way too loud for me. One of the reason he replaced them with Sceptres was becuase the D&D's were so loud on trips. Anyone have some positive feedback on their D&D's? I like the throaty, rumble of the pipes but prefer the slash cut look.

I don't mind the loudness, I rather like it. I have only put about 3000 on it since new in July but don't have any complaints with the D&D's. With wind noise and a steady cruising speed they aren't bad for distances. On road trips I usually put in ear plugs if it is over 100 miles. They are only really loud when you open her up. I can only speak for myself but the look of the D&D's grew on me, I did not like the look at first. Now I think nothing looks better.

I’ve had D&D’s on my bike for about 2 years. The finish has held up and they have never discolored. I fell in love with the sound of the pipes the minute I heard them. They have a really deep rumble to them and once you have them on for a while, no other pipes sound as good. Since the Sceptre’s are stainless steel, you will have a lot more polishing to do to keep them looking good. As with all stainless pipes, they have a tendency to get a gold hue to them. It can be polished out, but they are more work then the D&D’s. I tried the Sceptre’s for about 3 weeks last year and finally took them off, sold them and put the D&D’s back on because they sounded better.
