Bought these and put them on an 08 C90. Pretty easy to install. Much harder to take off the stock crap than to put these on. When I got them in the box, they had incorrect clamps (the rear portion of the pipes are heat shields), so I had to run to the store to buy the correct sizes. Because they are shields that are hose clamped on, they rust EXTREMELY easily. Rains on a run, plan on replacing the clamps, taking off the shields, and cleaning/polishing the interior clamp housing. Easy to remove baffles you say? NOT!!!! Literally used about everything one could imagine, and they would not come out. Sound: If you want the added horses, these are good pipes. If you want a big deep sound, don't buy these. They are extremely airy. They do look very, very nice, and not many people have them. If you are good with your hands, you may be able to find a way to get the baffles out and modify them or replace to get a bigger sound. So, if you want something that will make your machine run better, buy these with a Gman Bully, and you will love them. They do take a bit more upkeep than other pipes due to the clamp situation, but it's not that big a pain as the shields are easy to remove. Also, as the tips are slashdowns, you can move them around and make them look any way you want, which is a kinda cool feature. If you want some big VH pipes to make the ground rumble, you will be disappointed. I now have VH Classics II on an 06, and they are loud, but almost a bit too loud when you are running 80 on the highway for a few hours.
