Tony has been making me jealous with his videos with sound bites of his Valk (hot and cold). It made me think that a video with a Valkyrie with an aftermarket exhaust would be interesting to compare. These sixes sound really good with the stock 6-into-6 pipes, even thought they're heavily muffled. I was extremely lucky to find a nearly pristine Viking system - equal length ceramic-coated tubes dumping into 36"L by 4" diameter glass packs. I installed this system when I went with the OEM saddlebags - happily selling off the Cobra pipes that were on it. The Cobras are a whole 'nuther story. I wish I'd gotten a clip of the bike running with those puppies. Excedrin is a necessary component for rides with the Cobras.
...but the Vikings are not altogether "quiet" either. After the link loads, click on the image for full video and sound. This is a stone cold startup. (See the temp guage?):
