The sidepipes are less restrictive and baffeled. They are not quiet by any means and were designed to be less restrictive then the sidepipes originally on there. I did question the air cleaners.... they are the double 8" round oil soaked style like K&N. Just looking at them i couldn't imagine getting a great deal of air through. However , what other choices do i really have in that?

Thanks for your inputs!!!
