Slip on exhaust anyone can do (How i fixed up my rashed out stock pipes)

As some of you know, but ill fill the rest of you in, my CAT box failed
See this thread >>>CAT exhaust Failure
So i fixed that issue and decided to do some extra work to fix her up now that the CAT is free flowing
SO i found 2 good used sets of COBRA 6003 slipon pipes, they look nearly identical to the OEM pipes, i like the way the OEM pipes look and will always have a 3 pipe... ITS A ROCKET, it should have 3 pipes IMO
I cut the 90* parts off the pipes and found some 1-3/4 pipe scrap and welded things up
its a bit tricky to do welding, i have to set up my generator and what not to even tac things up.
I have the 1 side done now, i will keep updating as i keep working on it.
I have a MUCH nicer setup but i don't have the space right now to use it!

Just finished mocking up the other side. I had to make some custom brackets. Right now its not even tacked up and ill have the bracket powder coated and trimmed up.
Took all day to mock up this side.

all day today was welding and finishing.
I'll post tomorrow on the brackets and what not and how I changed things when I paint them.
It sounds amazing.
Right below too loud and right above not loud enough. I could toss the low DB baffles in there of I was going on a trip but imo not loud enough to piss off the guys next door.
The roar it has is amazing.

Ok, so I ordered the lower DB baffle inserts and they made a HUGE difference. It still sounds beefy as before but it’s moderately less loud.

Put it this way I am the rider who always wears earplugs, even in a shoei helmet. Wind noise is too much for me at anything over 45 with no front wind screen. I had to put my ear plugs in all the way to keep from headaches with the cobra 6003's I did. BUT now that I put in the 9027 baffles (new style) it’s about 5 DB lower overall and I can ride with no ear plugs like the stock exhaust was before but it still sounds awesome, and best of all, NO DRONE!
I have a decent DB meter and I measured the OEM exhaust at 66 to 68db at idle standing behind and 74 to 76 db at 5500 RPMS
The Cobra's with the cat removed, and the box modified, I was at 75 to 78 DB at idle and 82 to 86 Db at 5500 rpms
With the 1-5/8 baffles installed it measured 68 to 72 at idle and 76 to 79 at 5,500 rpms.
Remember decibels are 2x the volume per 10db.
I am SUPER happy with the results.
