Price Difference in 4.5" Slip On's.

[09 Softail C]

Why is there such a big price difference between the 4.5" Cobra Neighbor Haters and the other 4.5" slip on's like RC Components, V&H and Rhinehart? Are they inferior in some way?

Can't speak for the price difference. Personally I think the other guys are extremely over priced. I have the 4.5" Cobra NH's on my bike and I love em. If you have lowered your bike you might have some clearance issues. I had mine dropped via lowering blocks 2 inches, had to raise it back up an inch to keep from scraping the bottom of the pipes on turns. Other than that, no problems. They are louder than most other slip-ons. The removable baffles can be wrapped, left unwrapped or even completely removed if you're into the "open" exhaust sound. They look really good and I've gotten nothing but compliments on the sound and looks. Compared to expensive slip-ons from other manufacturers, I'll take the Cobras any day.

Thanks, it's a tough decision. Wish there were a quick place to go to see and hear the 4or 5 different combos I'm thinking about, Youtube just doesn't cut it.

These pipes are so versatile. From full on open pipes, to mildly quiet, just depends on what you do with the baffles. you wouldn't be going wrong with these unless you just wanted quieter pipes without having to pack the baffles.
