Shipping killed the "deal" especially when it was from canada anyway. I bought it assuming the lack of custom and close proximity to me wouldn't inflate the hidden charges..Should have asked how much before bidding. But it is still not bad considering...I guess I'll sell the D and Ds now to get some cash back

w.m.p kevlar pipes 225+s.h.
I called the number on the e-bay page.seems like what they did was buy all the surplus exhaust from that company any way they went out and checked for me and found another set of the kevlar pipes!! as far as I know they may have more they do have a set of alluminum cans they are all low mounts but for 225+s.h. you can't go wrong.he's checking to see what they have for s.h. if he calls back I'll post what he has the item number for the allum. cans is 160056233213 I'll have to wait till spring to report how they work out though

How much could they possibly have charged? I hate when people do that. I had some dumbass want to charge me like $50 shipping for one D&D can and midpipe because the auction ended for $5 From Miami to Ft Lauderdale!!!! It's like a 1/2 hr away!!! I've had to actually explain to people to disconnect the midpipes from the mufflers. Superhawk slip on exhausts should never cost more than $25 or $30 anywhere inside the U.S. I shipped a header to Australia from Florida for only $60 for cryin out loud! Just have to be creative with the box.

If someone is going to overcharge for shipping then they should list it in the listing beforehand-then you can't argue, you just don't bid. Otherwise it should be pretty close to actual if you're given the shipping price after the fact. That's the old $1 for a corvette and $35k for shipping. That's bullshit.

I do..but; I don't know what these WMP will be like but I believe they still have aluminum ones for sale and at $225 new, I think it might be better for you to buy that instead..I don't think I would want to sell mine anything less than $175 plus shipping so it's hard to justify buying mine unless these WMPs are Junk...I know I am killing my own sale but truth to be told.
BTW shipping issue have been rectified

Hey Lou, that's good. I emailed him just to see and he said $45 shipping from Canada to Florida, which doesn't sound too unreasonable. Anyway hope the pipes are nice. I'll feel bad if they're crap since I'm the one who saw them...They sure looked nice anway.

Calitoz,
Pardon the pun, but your D & D's sound good to me.
Price wise I don't have a problem. I visit Ottawa periodically, so transport isn't an issue if you don't mind me picking them up + I'd rather stick with all aluminum.
Two questions:
Are these the extra loud D & D's I've heard of ?
My bike is bone stock, so (you see this one coming) will I have to buy new jets ? (I know screw all about carb adjustments)

I have NEVER heard loud pipes on a VTR before (better chance of spotting a pregnant Moose than a modified VTR in Montreal) so I can't tell just how loud we are talking about here. It's driving me nuts. For example: Dynomax mufflers on my Stang annoyed the **** out of me but with Flowmasters, I was in heaven.
I'll make a better informed decision once I hear loud pipes like these in person.
Same goes for the new pipes for sale out East.
Thanks again for the info and good luck with your project bike.

Thanks for the straight-up answers. The price is fair ( we are on a U.S. site)

I have the RS3 Yosh's on mine, and I was thinking of switching to the D&Ds, cause riding with my buddies RC51 with Satos sucks.
They will be loud, but it is a good loud.
I would never recommend D&D for an inline 4, but they do sound awsome on a twin.

Off topic but are you actually saying the Flowmasters were quieter than the Dynomax or you just didn't like the sound as much? And yeah, the D&D's have more of that sharp Harley drag pipe sound than any other slip on's I've heard. Sound killer but again they do attract some attention.
Thanks for the feedback on the D & D sound.
Does anyone know of a website that tested various pipes, including sound ? I would imagine sn RC51 or TL1000s / SV1000 test bike should yeild similar sounds as our VTR's ??? May sound cheezy over the internet speakers but it could give me some ideas !!!
