: Which pipes would you choose? kendodblg 05-07-2009, 11:55 AM Hi, I was all set to order the Cobra pipes pictured below, but I stumbled upon a photo of Hard Krome's new pipes. Which would you choose?

I personally like the way hard krome finishes the tips of the pipes.

Besides that, the Cobra pipes leave a bit more spare for cleaning the engine! Oddcrow 07-26-2009, 02:30 PM I think the Hard Krome looks better You might be right, Lindsay! While googling I came across a 1100-owners site where they rate aftermarket exhausts. Looking at the several listings I would suggest that Hard Krome's overall perform better than Cobra's. But then, these are all 'personal' ratings! But interesting to compare different pipes in the lists. You might wanna look at www.vstar.ca !

Headpipe fits, cracking and peeling finish, frustrating reponses from the manufacturer... Cobra on the other hand doesn't seem to have such problems and their quality is next to none. Just my two cents. KenMcCoy 01-10-2011, 04:09 PM The HKs don't have a cross over so you'll actually lose a little power. I'd go w/ the cobras since they have the power port and gain a little bit of power. Plotiopolous 05-18-2012, 08:08 PM I have the Cobra's. They are Quality, but then you would expect nothing less. The sound is good, and the lines and aesthetics follow the Raider scheme the best. And most bags will fit with them. | ||
