I'm 99% decided on viper2 replacment of current pipes; but have lingering reservations about single wall, no heat-shield construction. I understand from talking to doug at fuggin the internal ceramics can knock off as much as 150 degrees outside temp, but I'm wondering about leg placement ... I mostly ride jeans and workboots, but in really muggy midwest weather I like to ride in work shorts - any trouble with shins/ankles etc. brushing up against the pipes, MORE SO than in any other set of pipes? Any feedback much appreciated ...

Don't know much about the fuggin pipes, but if you pull the trigger send me a PM cuz I may be interested in the cobras you have on now.

Here's my opinion:

The Viper-2s are some sweet looking and sounding pipes. I have not in any way at any time felt uncomfortable riding due to excessive heat from the exhaust.

Disclaimer, like you, I'm in the mid-west (Chicago to be exact) so I was riding with the pipes last fall. It was relatively cool outside. Though in my opinion, it shouldn't impact the exhaust temperature. My point is that I wasn't riding in the middle of summer so I can't give you a complete assessment.

My legs have never come into contact with my Viper IIs

EDIT: 1000 POST! I spend too much time on this time

Good deal ...

Thanks Scratch, Predator,

Sounds good. I definitely consider the V2's the best looking pipe out there today for the fury, street-cred lookin', imho. Good to hear you guys haven't had any heat issues other than what can be expected from *any* set of pipes; pretty much helped me make up my mind.

I'm glad to hear this feedback as well since I am going to switch from the cobra's to viper 2 as well. Did you remove the baffles or are they natually good sounding?

 

[Stonewheel]

No prob

I'll send ya pm if I decide to get rid of the cobra's.

In talking a fair bit with Doug at fuggin, the baffles are welded in and designed NOT to be removed; my impression is you can't do it. Unless Scratch or Predator has had some hands-on exp to the contrary. He says they spent a LOT of time getting a killer sound from the baffled pipes.

The pipes sound amazing out of the box. You won't want to/need to remove the baffles
