Looking to put new pipes on a 06 VTX1300C. Would anybody like to share their opinion on either of the two? A sound clip of the K-2's would be nice. I really like their look. I do like the sound of the cobra's.

Also. I'm moving out to California, from NC, in a couple of weeks (Monterey...sometimes the Marine Corps can really screw you ). Does anybody know of CA state laws regarding aftermarket pipes (decibels or emissions)?

Thanks...my first post and the bike is only a week old! This forum is a real big help...I've learned a lot from you all!

I JUST installed my K-2s yesterday. If you can wait a day or two, I'll try to get a sound clip to you so you can hear them. I was in your same situation, wanting to hear them and not finding any clips. I finally took a chance, and I like them so far. They're loud, that's for sure.

have the K2's and I love them. Remove the baffles for the complete effect. =)

for the C, I recommend the speedster shorts.......goes with the theme of the muscle bike. The longs look better on a retro.......just my $.02

Hard Krome all the way

I spent 2 months researching pipes, asking everyone I knew that had a bike or worked on motorcycles. Everyone I spoke with preferred HK over almost anything else. Their main point was the double walled construction, but they all told me that HK has a deeper more throaty sound to them. My HK 3" Long Straights are due to arrive at my house today, so I will be able to give more of a personal impression of the sound very soon. Good luck

I have drilled out stocks on my 04 c (clayton root mod) I like the sound but I really like the look and sound of the bubs over the HK's. Its all personal preference.

I compromised and went with the speedster slashdowns.

Love the pipes!! Awesome sound, and I think they compliment the C model very well! No regrets.

Thanks. I think you're right. The slashdowns look better on the C.

Strummin, I'll wait for the HK sound clip.

Get the K2s. All the other pipes have the exact same style, down and back. That's what attracted me to the K2s, they look different and have style. Check out my gallery with K2s installed on my C.
