Re: Swept up Pipes for Sportsters

I feel the need to stick up for drag pipes a bit here.

I have 2" Khromewerks drags on my Sporty, baffles in when I bought it and now baffles out.

The performance is not lacking in the mid range in any way, although I appreciate it is not a tuned system and will not give any mid range advantage. The other point is that it performs slightly better and revs freer with the baffles out.

It certainly performs better than the standard strangler silencers. I love the upswept pipes and thought about getting the Zantee upswepts with fishtails but they don't make them for the XL.

I would say go for it. They look great and your performance won't suffer.
