johnny johnny johnny,
Quit the darned procrastinating and just buy the Thunderbike pipes. You are scared to spend the $$ I know, I had the long TORs, then modded pipes then SS then finally got the T'pipes. I couldn't be happier. I spent a lot of bux for pipes before finally finding the ones I loved.
Just buy them, you WILL be very satisfied and happy. If you don't like them , it would be no problem at all to resell them here in about 10 minutes.



Yea yea, i know. But you see, when it comes to spending close to a grand on something i'm very very very careful ! Why you ask? Because if they turn out to be too loud i'll have to take them off. If they don't supply the desired performance boost even if they sound good, i'll have paid 7-800 bucks (depending on if i have to pay duty)for sound. For me the sound is nowhere near important enough to pay even half that amount. And to top it all off, i prefer the look of the stock pipes. So as you can see i could easily end up being disappointed enough to sell they which would surely cost me severall hundred bucks and be a complete pain in the @ss to have to sell them via mail.

So, i decided that if the TORs were quieter i'd be ahead right there. Then if the performance boost was equal i'd end up with pipes that i like better due to quieter sound and all at 1/2 the price of the TB's. I don't want to end up kicking myself as i have done before when buying something recommended to me online only to find that it wasn't to me what it was to the people who recommended it. I'm not saying you aren't right about the pipes. I'm only saying that the differences in our bikes or our perception of the results (which ARE subjective don't forget) could make for a pipe that doesn't do it for me. So with the TORs at 1/2 the cost i have to know before i buy whether i might get what i want from those.

Your posts have me closer to buying the TB's than i would have been w/o them. But i still want to know how the TOR's are in volume compared to the TB's and what the difference is in performance boost. And having experienced both, you're the guy to give me details, so come on man, give em up !! Telllllllllll meeeeeeee !!!
