(5 stars) reviewed on 10/03/05 by cmantim (cmantim) from Sierra Vista, AZ, United States, for a 1997 Yellow/Black 1100 Shadow ACE wrote: These pipes are the real deal. Makes your 1100cc sound like a beast, and that's with the removable baffles in. Moderately easy to install, as I had to muscle a couple of the pieces together, but all in all well worth the minor inconveniance. *WARNING* These pipes do NOT come with the exhaust gaskets. I had to get some from the stealership. If you have even a small doubt that you may need new gaskets, order them too. I've just recently taken the baffles out, and I don't notice too big of a difference. My friends make me ride in the back of the pack now though.

(4 stars) reviewed on 05/22/04 by Jim Karman from Fort Pierce, FL, for a 2001 Road King 1100 Shadow ACE wrote: Can you say loud? These on my 1100 ACE with the baffles in are significantly louder than my brother's Heritage Softail with the same pipes and no baffles! They really are bordering on obnoxious. I almost always have to ride in the back of the pack when riding with friends. They need to have a deeper tone since they have an annoying midtone crackle. I am experimenting with inserts that resemble torque cones in varying lengths to get the proper note without being too loud. I am having them made by a friend at a local custom exhaust shop and will report back when I find what seems to work best. Another option would be the quiet baffles made by V&H. I am also looking into those but don't want to make them too quiet or loose the performance gained. The performance with these pipes was noticeably better than stock pipes.

Nice deep rumble during idle, very powerful sound. The full length heat shield is great, no bluing or discoloring at all! Custom "hot tips" add another little bit of custom styling.
