I have these pipes and are great. There are many threads on these and mods done to these pipes.

1. I've burned several pants with these pipes. I don't the heat shields on mine, I just heat wrapped them.
2. The tips scrape on hard right hand turns. The scraping on my executioners are attributed to my bike being slammed. Not sure if others with stock height warriors have the same problems. Gilly is a member that mod his by cutting it by two inches. Great member and kick ass bike BTW.
3. Installation is was a Bi@$tch because the flanges are cut for a harley(I believe), so trying to get the stock bolts to sit right took a little finangling(I used some washers). BTW Gilly had a new set of flanges to correct this.
4. Make sure to get the torque cones and if possible new gaskets, and a gasket sealant. This will help so you won't get an exhaust leak.
5. Dave from morton's is a good person to talk to. Great customer service from him.
6. These are F*** loud, just the way I like pipe to be, but some members not so much.

I rambling but just some food for thought. There are other here with more expertise and technical savvy to help. Hope thats one perspective.

There is some concern over scraping. Especially if you plan to lower your bike. I mentioned this to Doug and though he was steadfast that they wouldn't scrape, he shortened them so they are only a couple inches past the mounting bracket. He even added an o2 port for my PCV autotune.

A couple of tips though:

One, the mounting bracket is crap. It did not line the pipe up right so I had to drill a new hole between the prefabbed holes to get them to mount right.

Two, the flanges are shi*t! They are Harley flanges and are much smaller than the Yami ones. When you go to put them on, the bolts will barely cover the flanges. You need to use a few washers. Otherwise, you will end up just bending the flange. (don't ask me how I know this! ) Use a copper gasket seal too!

Forget the Yami torque spec of 14 front and 17 rear. After I bent the rear flange and talked to Doug, he told me that those specs were for Yami pipes, not theirs! He said to just tighten them down til they were snug and leave it at that. Why they don't make their flanges to at least the same specs as original, I can't figure out but suffice it so say, you will NOT be able to torque them down per spec without bending the sh*t out of them. Trust me on this one! It would be nice if they gave you that info with the pipes but they come with zero instruction!

They told me that they expect their pipes are going to be installed by professional pipe fitters who would know not to torque them down as much. C'mon! Two bolts and they expected me to take my bike to the shop for that? In the end, they were okay though. They sent me a new flange and all is right in the world.

The pipes sound wicked! You can find some clips on You tube to hear what you will be in for.
