Yamaha VStar 1100 (XVS 1100) With Cobra Exhaust! It Sounds Harley Loud!

[@gregtoope]

Wish the camera and mic picked up the bikes sound better, but they are loud pipes. May try to record them again later with my phone to see if you can get a better idea of the sound.

Thinking about cobra straights for my VStar 1100. It's a bike thing?. I catch he'll from my wife for having the radio turned off in the car. I like to hear my vehicle sounds, engine ,tires on road etc. Let5 me know of potential problems.

[@donniechalk3018]

That VSTAR 1100 sounds really awesome. Reminds me of the 2004 VSTAR 1100 I had with the same type of exhaust. I can remember when I would pass by the Harley Shop on the Loop in Tyler Tx it would always get the other bikers attention. Nice bike as it had a gear wind that I didn't like and never got a chance to fix it or see if it could be fixed. Thanks for sharing.

If I’m not mistaken, 08 09 was the last year they made the V stars I have an 07 that has cobra pipes and I’m about another month away from hitting the road your video just gave me the fever. I’ve also gotten the nice Harley comment. They definitely add a little rumble. From knowing what my bike sounds like I know what that bike. Sounds like the video just doesn’t do it justice. One more thing, killer bike bud

Nice looking area bro. I love life when there are greeneries at abundance.

[@gregtoope]

Thanks. We love the area.

[@alland4931]

Which type of Cobra pipes do you have on there & did you change the air intake stock box to pods under the gas tank? As I have an 03 VStar 1100 Classic with stock exhaust along with everything else stock on it & thinking of putting on Cobra or Vance & Hines exhaust.

[@justanotherviewer52]

My Harley has stock pipes and the sound is great. Sure can't do that on an electric bike. Yeah, the video does not do your sound justice. Hope Mary lets you keep riding her bike once yours comes out of the shop. Love the video.

[@gregtoope]

well shes at work most days (mon-fri). so her bike is just siting there waiting for me to ride it! 😁

[@michaelholmes4808]

Love it....... Mary's doing yardwork while you're in the office making content. Looking forward to seeing more on your new bike. Hope they get it fixed in a timely fashion. What was happening with it?

[@gregtoope]

we each have our priorities! It was randomly stalling. The think it may be a relay switch that's not functioning properly. So they have one on order. Should be here this week. 🤞🏻

[@michaelholmes4808]

@@gregtoope sounds like it could be a kickstand safety or the like. Was not trying to give you a hard time about the ride...... you were making money!

[@gregtoope]

@@michaelholmes4808 haha..i didnt think you were. and both the fuel and kickstand go through the same relay. So that's what they are replacing as that's what they are guessing the issue is. We are heading to Atlanticade at the end of the month so just want to be sure its all fixed by then.

[@iamtheplayer3818]

Pipes. Noise. Yum.

[@gregtoope]

Most definitely

[@pheirphon4680]

Mary must be a scared rider at times because of bad drivers. I like how it is loud when you throttle up, but Suttled cruising.

[@micahshero]

Before you changed the pipes did you have a problem with the pipes being too hot?

[@gregtoope]

these pipes were on it when i bought it.

[@renedejong2064]

Like the ride video, i dont know if you are familiar with the brand Akrapovic i have that on my Gilera Fuoco 500 (look it up for pics) its a i cilinder 4stroke 500cc which is allowed to be driven with car liscence under certain conditions.

[@gregtoope]

Thats a cool looking machine. Im sure it handles super well.

[@renedejong2064]

@@gregtoope It does and gives me a freedom i thought i would never have.

[@gregtoope]

@@renedejong2064 awesome. And that’s really what matters $

[@jerryiwatkins3516]

I just purchased a 2006 vstar 1100. I would like to know the brand the front fairing is. I am wanting that look but all the ones I see don't bolt with the windshield brackets the bolt on with little bars.

[@JakeSmoth-nv8sd]

Where did you get this exhaust? Price?

[@robertdupuis2196]

with or without baffles ?? thanks

[@whiskeythrottle8680]

Is it true the the 1100 v star needs more then regular valve adjustment?

[@gregtoope]

I never done any and it rides great still.

[@big_red_machine3547]

I drilled out the stock pipes on my 1100 and it’s pretty loud, however it now backfires and runs like crap. Anyone do this mod? The lack of back pressure is likely the reason. I’m going to rebuild the carbs soon, and look into re-jetting them as well as getting rid of the stock air intake assembly

[@grayghost832]

What type of cobra pipes? I've got a 2-1 power pro and it''s not quite neighbor hater level.

[@Macflaid]

windshield brand?? thanks buddyy

[@bubbachase7874]

Stop talking I wanna hear the bike

[@marymadigan9707]

Sounds great 👏😎🇮🇪

[@gregtoope]

Thanks. It’s got some volume for sure.

[@BlueDinnie]

I got cobra speedster pipes on my bike those suckers could Wake the Dead...

[@gregtoope]

yeah the cobras are loud for sure.

[@giffordthompson4094]

Sonds very healthy

[@gregtoope]

yeah theyve got some bark to them for sure.

[@jaredmgross]

Can I ask what size those apes are?

[@brendanfickel4793]

Where do you purchase the pipes?

[@gregtoope]

they came with the bike when we bought it (used)

[@passionateherbs8183]

❤❤

[@hillclimber4406]

id rather keep my factory exhaust than watch a 17 minute video of talking and wind noise

[@shawncell1247]

sounds cool until you go up a long hill,then they really suck !!!!!

[@gregtoope]

I don’t think so. Plus if I go on a long ride I’ll just put in earplugs.

[@JohnDoeSmith08]

​@@gregtoopeI have Cobra mufflers on my bike and they do sound great. I wear earplugs for wind noise regardless of which bike I'm riding.
