Street Walker Exhaust's Bag Pipes install
Envy Cycle Creations has been making some of the coolest pipes for choppers and bobbers for quite some time under the Street Walker Exhaust moniker, and when we heard the company would finally produce two-into-one systems for H-D touring bikes, we had to get our mitts on some. What separates the Bag Pipes from other exhausts, is the design and look of the pipes. Starting with 17/8-inch header pipes, they quickly merge into a 3-inch collector and then bolt to a 3-inch muffler with a custom-cut tip. The pipes are finished off in your choice of chrome plate, black, or titanium gray ceramic finishes. To add even more to the unique look of the pipes and keep them from burning the rider's leg, heat shields in contrasting finishes, are included. Despite the complex look of them, the Bag Pipes install in no time with ease and once in place, have a nice non-ear-shattering, yet aggressive tone.

If you want an exhaust that will help your bike speak for itself, you may just want to get a set of Bag Pipes.
