FuzzyRSTD Posted May 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2008 I hope I made the right decision here you all. I have been searching for 2 weeks now and finally decided. I wanted to hear rumble , but not have to wear ear plugs and wanted the slash cut and easy removable baffles. I think I made the right choice. And for everyones information out there, Dennis Kirk will match prices with anyone, saved me $67.00 by making a phone call to customer service. Also for everyones info, Vance and Hines does not make pipes for 2007 Royal Star Tour Deluxe or any Royal Star for that matter. This came from them after I e-mailed and ask the company directly. I heard that I would maybe have to unplug or plug off smog control ???? I hope I will be satisfied with the pipes ??? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emack Posted May 21, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2008 I had Road House pipes on my old 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic.... what a great sound! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter3001 Posted May 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2008 I had Roadhouse fish tail slip ons on my 03 Roadstar. Liked the sound but I thought the chrome was cheap. Chrome started to pit after 1 season. Just my 2cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene-b Posted May 21, 2008 Share #5 Posted May 21, 2008 I don't know anything about "Roadhouse" pipes. But I too wanted some sound when going down the road. I did the K&N filters and went with the BUB sleepers, then closed the AIS system and now I love hearing that V-4 rumble. I'm sure you going to love it. Good luck Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emack Posted May 21, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2008 +1 on the K&N/Bubs/AIS... that v-4 now sounds like a roadster. It's hard not to wick the throttle...

FuzzyRSTD Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted May 23, 2008 yup, be sure and let us know how the sound is and lets discuss price if you like them. I received the pipes and filters today, just as Dennis Kirk said I would. I will probably try put them on this week end. Will get back to everyone. Paid $ 281.00 pipes and $ 82.00 filters. Price came from shopsomerset and Dennis Kirk matched price plus shipping. I saved $ 67.00 by calling customer service. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyRSTD Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted May 27, 2008 yup, be sure and let us know how the sound is and lets discuss price if you like them. Got the pipes on cyote, and love the sound. Loud enough but not to loud. Very good rumble. Installation OK, just did not care for the wood block and hammer persuasion I had to use. But still worked out good. Have to kinda wiggle them as you go and take a wood block and drive them on a little ways (wood block against the muffler hanger ). Then bolt up and tighten clamp. I also used some high heat silicone on pipe /muffler connection. I then unpluged the AIS and installed K&N filters. Purrs like a lion.
