I have always liked Cobra pipes. They sound so good! These slip-ons were very easy to install. It took a little extra time lining up the bracket bolts but that's because of the bad design of the H-D Softail Deluxe not Cobra. Once I got them installed I removed the baffles. This is the easiest way to remove the baffles. Let the bike hold the slip-on so you have two hands free to pull off the tip. The tip is attached with one bolt and the baffle is attached to the tip with one bolt. Remove the baffle and reinstall the tip. it's that easy. Be sure to remove all finger prints before starting the bike (i.e. clean the slip-ons real good). I installed these on my 2010 Deluxe. I was very happy the first time I started the bike. I was very impressed!
