Cobra Dragster Exhaust System

Yes, it would be recommended to install a fuel controller or have the bike tuned after installing a full exhaust system such as this Dragster system.

Yes, this system would have baffles.

Yes, it would be recommended to install a jet kit along with a full system. If you search our site for Dynojet Carburetor Jet Kit, you should find what you need.

Typically yes, you would want to install a jet kit to compensate for the more freely flowing exhaust. Otherwise, you may run into issues such as popping.

Yes, you can choose that 2011 Yamaha Stryker for this exhaust system.

Yes, that 2005 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100 is a model you can choose for this system.

It would be recommended to install a fuel tuner when installing a fuel exhaust system on your bike. I suggest searching our site for Dynojet Power Commander FC Fuel Controller. That would be a great addition to your bike with a full exhaust system.

Yes, if you were to choose the XVS1300A V-Star 1300 Cobra Dragster exhaust from our fit guide, you'd get the pipes you need. As far as jetting, you're probably pretty close to ideal if your bike's already been set up for the 2-into-1 exhaust. Just a little tweaking and you should be good to go!

In the case of the 2012 Yamaha V-Star 950 Dragster exhaust, yes - there is an oxygen sensor port included with the exhaust. This holds true for all machines equipped with an OEM O2 sensor(s) - Cobra includes a provision for fitting those sensors. As far as the Fi2000R, while it's not required, if you want to get the most power and best possible throttle response, we strongly recommend the installation of a fuel controller, and especially the Fi2000R, so as to get the best performance out of your bike's engine.

Yes, any time you change the way air gets into or out of, the motor, you'll want to adjust fueling appropriately to maximize any performance gains available from the new setup. Especially if you're going from a stock exhaust to a full system such as the Cobra Dragsters. A Power Commander is certainly one option, though we prefer the Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller as it's developed by the same company that designed the exhaust system for your bike. It's easy to configure with only three knobs of adjustment on the device, and the included instructions explain clearly how to set up the unit for your bike. There's no need to visit a dyno tuner or otherwise, pay a technician to get your bike fueled correctly. It is for these reasons, we always recommend an Fi2000R with any Cobra exhaust system.

For all Cobra exhausts being fitted to carbureted machines, we always recommend a Cobra Carburetor Jet Kit to go along with your purchase. The jet kits are developed specifically to work with Cobra exhausts and come with everything you need to get the job done properly.

If your bike is completely stock as far as fuel delivery is concerned, then yes - you'll need to add a fuel controller of some sort. We recommend a Cobra Fi2000R fuel tuner for the Vulcan Classic LT. It's simple to install and easy to adjust. The included instructions have a range of settings listed making setup a snap as there are only three dials to adjust. With that, you can have your bike ready to go with the best possible throttle response and engine performance without needing a trip to the dyno.

Anytime you swap a complete exhaust system on a fuel injected motorcycle, it is highly recommended to install a fuel tuner. Especially if you have plans to also modify the intake and or cams and pistons.

All of the exhaust systems Cobra produces for the Yamaha Stryker models include an O2 sensor bung for the factory O2 sensor to thread into.

Anytime you change the full exhaust system it is recommend to re-jet or install a fuel tuner on a fuel injected motorcycle. I would suggest the Cobra Fi2000R you can find that unit in our store by searching "Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Controller" in our store search bar.

Cobra currently does not offer a set of quiet baffles for the Dragster line of exhaust system. This system is inherently loud by design. If you wanted to quite a set down, there is a baffle company Big City Thunder out of North Carolina that can build custom baffles for exhaust that may not offer a replacement at this time. I would suggest reaching out to them directly if you wanted a custom set of quiet baffles for this system.

The pipes are designed to make the most power and performance with the baffles installed. You would loose some bottom end pull with the baffles completely removed. As long as you jet or have it tuned accordingly, it should be a non-issue.

Cobra offers three different exhausts to fit your particular machine in the form of the Cobra Dragster Exhaust System, the Cobra Speedster Slashdown Exhaust System, and the Cobra Speedster Swept Exhaust System. All of those exhausts completely replace the stock exhaust system on the Raider SCL. Basically, all you have to do is unbolt the stock system, and put the Cobra exhaust in its place. If you're comfortable with, for example, doing an oil change, the exhaust system won't be very difficult at all. The included instructions for all exhausts we sell, and especially those form Cobra, do an excellent job of explaining the whole process, step-by-step. All you need is a set of metric hand tools and an evening in the garage to get it all sorted out. With the Raider SCL exhaust, there are no special tools required to swap out the pipes on your bike.

If your bike is completely stock as far as fuel delivery is concerned, then yes - you'll need to add a fuel controller of some sort. A Power Commander is one option, but for the sake of simplicity (and expense since you needn't visit a dyno tuner), we recommend a Cobra Fi2000R fuel tuner for the Honda Shadow Aero. It's simple to install and easy to adjust. The included instructions have a range of settings listed making setup a snap as there are only three dials to adjust. With that, you can have your bike ready to go with the best possible throttle response and engine performance without needing a trip to the dyno.

No, the intake and exhaust side of the bike are completely separate, and you don't need to order both at the same time. You will, however, want to order a Cobra Jet Kit (if it's a VTX1300 you have) or a Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller if you have a VTX1800, in order to get the most power output and best possible throttle response from your engine. That is to say, if you're going from a stock exhaust to a full system - you will need to adjust fuel delivery in order to get the most out of your new exhaust. Both, the jet kit and fuel controller come with simple-to-follow instructions that'll get you set up as required for your specific tuning needs. Best of all, you won't even need to make a tripe to the dyno to get going!

If your bike has a completely stock tune on it, then yes - you'll certainly want to upgrade fuel delivery in order to get the most out of the new Dragster exhaust pipes for your VTX. To do that, we recommend the Cobra Jet Kit as it's specifically engineered to work with Cobra's exhaust systems. The exhaust itself comes with all the required mounting hardware, but you will be re-using some of the OEM exhaust mounting brackets and bolts. So long as you have the stock exhaust on your machine, you won't have any problems fitting the new pipes to your bike. Other than that, the included instructions for both, the jet kit and exhaust, explain how to do everything. All you need are simple metric hand tools and an evening or two in the garage to get it done.

In the case of the 2007 Honda VTX1800R, you'll need to add a Cobra O2 Sensor Eliminator to your order to fit this exhaust to your machine. This is due to the fact that Cobra Dragster exhausts for the VTX1800 models are equipped with an oxygen sensor port. So long as you add that to your order, you'll have everything you need to fit this exhaust to your bike.

If your bike is stock and you're going to be adding a full exhaust system, yes, we absolutely recommend the addition of a fuel tuning device in order to be sure your machine runs properly. For your machine, we have a Cobra Fi2000R Yamaha Raider fuel controller that'll do an excellent job of meeting the Yamaha Raider Dragster exhaust systems' fuel requirement. Installation of the fuel controller is simple and requires no permanent modification to your bike. Just add it on, adjust as recommended in the easy-to-follow instructions and hit the road! Best of all, there's no need to visit a tuning shop as the device only has three dials on it to adjust in order to get the best possible throttle response and engine power output with the new exhaust.

Yes, this exhaust will fit your machine. Just choose the 2018 Kawasaki VN900D Vulcan 900 Classic LT exhaust from our fit guide and you'll be all set! As far as tuning goes, yes, we always recommend that fuel delivery be adjusted in order to compensate for the improvement in exhaust flow. In this way, you can be sure to get the best possible benefit of power and throttle response in the new exhaust. To tune it properly, we recommend a Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller. It's simply to install and configure. Plus, the included instructions explain exactly how to tune it for your exact needs. And, with only three adjustments to be made, it's a rather simple device to configure to get the most out of your new exhaust system.

Yes, all Cobra Dragster exhaust systems come with the required installation hardware. For some models, such as the Shadow 1100, you'll need to re-use some of the OEM exhaust mounting bolts and brackets, but otherwise, everything is included in the box. So long as you have the stock exhaust on your machine, you won't have a problem installing this, or any other Cobra exhaust we sell!

Cobra exhaust systems do not include exhaust gaskets of any kind. Provided the original gaskets on your machine are in good condition, you could certainly re-use those to complete the installation of this exhaust. No less, if you want to be absolutely sure the installation will go without issue, we do have a massive selection of exhaust gaskets available on our website that'll fit your exact model.

If your bike has a completely stock tune on it, then yes - you'll certainly want to upgrade fuel delivery in order to get the most out of the new Dragster exhaust pipes for your Rocker. To do that, we recommend the Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Controller as it's specifically engineered to work with Cobra's exhaust systems. Plus, should you decide to add an aftermarket air cleaner in the future, adjusting the tuner is quick and easy. The included instructions do an excellent job of explaining how to configure the device and tweak it using one of the three rotary knobs on the device itself, to get the best possible power output improvement for your bike's exact configuration.

You can expect this exhaust to be significantly louder than the stock exhaust on your bike. As a general rule, Drag Pipes are some of the loudest pipes on the market, for any machine you choose. Cobra includes a set of their standard baffles with this exhaust. Removing them is a simple affair, just a single bolt holds each baffle in place. And of course, pulling them out will make them louder but it really doesn't make much difference in terms of performance. What those exact numbers are, I can't say since Cobra doesn't provide sound level or power output data with any of the pipes they build. As far as power is concerned, when properly tuned, yes - you can certainly expect greater engine power and improved throttle response. For Cobra exhausts, we recommend the Cobra Fi2000R fuel controller as it's developed specifically to work with all Cobra exhaust and intake products.

If your bike is running with stock carburetors, then yes - you need to add a jet kit to your order to be sure it runs correctly. Cobra has a range of jet kits that are perfectly suited to work with their exhaust system as they're developed in tandem for the best possible performance. You can find those on our Cobra Carburetor Jet Kit page. To ease with installation and set up, the jet kits come with a set of well-written instructions that explain exactly how to install the bikes and give you a good idea of where to start based upon your bike's set up. From there, clear guidance is given to tweak jetting for perfect fuel delivery.

For most applications, and especially late-model machines, yes - Cobra's Dragster exhaust system will be lighter than the OEM exhaust.

The overall diameter of the Drag Pipes from is the same from the headers all the way through to the mufflers. Obviously, the mufflers will have a smaller inner diameter with the baffles installed. Those baffles are easily removable. For Harley-Davidson applications, these pipes have a 1-3/4" diameter from tip to tail. The heat shields that go over the actual pipes are a little wider.

Yes, all Cobra exhaust are covered by a one year manufacturer's warranty against flaws in workmanship and material. The exhaust's finish, on the other hand, is covered by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty against discoloration. If, at any point during that time you have a problem with the exhaust, Cobra will be happy to help you out. Of course, we're able to assist with those needs as well, just let us know and we'll be sure to help you out.

Upon the installation of a full exhaust system (when going from a completely stock configuration, at least), we always recommend that you adjust fuel mapping in order to get the most out of the new exhaust system. The Kawasaki Vulcan's OEM ECU just isn't able to compensate for the massive change. Consequently, you'll find the bike stutters at a steady throttle and maybe even falls flat when you make even a slight change in throttle position. These traits are particularly annoying, and you're certainly not getting all the added power that's avail with the new system. To mitigate all of this, we highly recommend a Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Controller. The unit is very easy to install and configure. Plus, the included instructions explain exactly how to set up the device for your specific needs (there are only three adjustment knobs on it, similar to a carburetor). With that unit, you can expect more power from the engine and excellent throttle response in all riding situations.

The 2008 Yamaha Raider Cobra Dragster exhaust comes with a provision for fitting the OEM oxygen sensors. In fact, the included instructions go into a bit of detail in regard to removing them from the stock exhaust system and then placing them in the Cobra Raider Yamaha exhaust. In this way, you can be assured your bike runs as well as possible with the new exhaust.

Yes, all of Cobra's Dragster exhaust systems come with removable baffles.

Yes, we have a wide variety of parts to fit that bike. Check out the Yamaha Stryker Dynojet Power Commander V with ignition control or any of Cobra's Fi2000 fuel controllers. With those, you can be assured to get the best possible throttle response and engine power output for your bike, regardless of its configuration.

Cobra Dragster pipes will certainly be louder than stock. Each exhaust system ships with full-length 2-1/2" heat shields that wrap 222 degrees around the pipes. They'll keep everything looking great with a non-bluing appearance. The price we show includes everything: heat shields, all piping, all required mounting hardware and easy-to-follow installation instructions.
