I have a 1984 Honda Shadow VT700, I'd like to replace the pipes, tank, front forks, and tires. But at the moment, I'm looking for pipes that will really make this thing rumble!!! I want people to complain about the sound!!! Can anyone help?

You want straight pipes?
Straight chrome pipe can be found in any catalog.
You can get all kinds of fancy ends, too.
I've got fishtails.
But I've also got 12" baffles in mine, cause I don't want the crap, and it still sounds OK to me.

i guess u also have deep enough pockets for all the fix-it tickets u'll get from pissin cop's off. if u want the best performance, straight pipes isnt the way to go. they're only for applications that hover in the range of 4,000 rpm's and over...and street riders never see this range. until that range, the engine never wakes up. this has been proven on the dyno. be advised, in some area's, loud bikes have costed riders that dont have straight pipes to even ride in some places. public opinion is also quickly turning against overloud pipes. sooner or later, things are going to get to the point where bikes with loud exhaust will be instantly targeted and engaged by the cops and u will wind up gettin a heavy fine for it. that day is coming, like it or not, it's coming.
