Barry, now after seeing these pics I feel happy mine never showed up.

I went for Walms' pipes that are WAY better looking and more engineered than these things...

We are lucky to have a few more choices these days. Walms' and Jim's workmanship is top shelf, and realistically priced for the working man. I was lucky to pick up a set of WTF's for my S2 when Walms and TTNUT (God rest his soul...) first began production of complete welded pipes, and then a set of Jim's pipes for my H2 to replace the banged up Dencos it came with.

Barry, those won't fit the H2C will they? Or are you going to install other chambers?

Carlos,yes I'm sure you got great pipes to go with your beautiful bike !!! Here is my initial impressions of the pipes !!!!! Tomcats pipes,the center pipe sits low.They are big and fat,the right pipe doesn't give enough room for the rear brake.I couldn't get the bike out of the truck with my ramp.I had to take the center pipe off to get it out of the truck with a high ramp angle.Found 2 small splits in the seems of the center pipe. I like the way they look on the bike,especially when they were in the raw.The black paint makes they look skinner than they are.When it is next to my other 75h2c with my taper head TNT street pipes,it makes the TNT's look like skinny girlie pipes !!!! Don't get me wrong the TNT's are my favorite pipes,but you really notice how fat Tomcats are when sitting next to old school vintage pipes.They remind me of FBG pro pipes !!! The taper head welds look good !!!! Its a shame what happened with these pipes,I think with more development they could have been something special !!!!!!!

Out of curiosity, did you notice the date engraved in? I think mine are 2002 but they're better looking than those and have larger silencers (if you can call them that, lol.)
