Rockford, IL | The Highway Nubs are JB Hatch units.
JB Hatch is a member here who started making the brackets (nubs) a few years ago. Due to a things like life and family JB was unable to keep up with the demand for his brackets. So he hooked up with Mike @ Gonzos and he has the capacity to easily keep up with the demand.
Do some searches here and you will find many folks who use the JB Hatch brackets and they have been pretty happy. Not sure if I have seen a single complaint about them.
Gonzos just recently started making the mufflers pretty much within the past few months (I believe) so there aren't many folks who have installed the units.....yet. I'm currently working on having cores sent to them so I should have a set installed within a couple of weeks.

Thumb, MI United States | I purchased my "13" vision by default. I had never owned a 900 lb bike or a victory before. The vision was the only bike that allowed me to get my legs stretched out on long rides. I have parts (plates and screws) from a 1982 bike accident. My wife and I recently rode 3600 miles through Ontario, Quebec, and several NE mountain States. JB Hatch pegs make a world a difference for me. With your legs forward ( but not splayed out) it feels more normal to have toes pointing up rather than forward. Thanks JB. |

St. Paul, MN | I installed the Big Gonzo's on my bike first before I exchanged them for the Regular Gonzo's. They had great sound but just too loud for me around town. The quality of the exhaust is top notch. Mike does a great job with the re-core. The Regular Gonzo's are the right amount of "bark" for me. Go WOT and the pipes come alive. Be easy on the throttle and they have a nice mellow sound, throaty but not obnoxious. I also installed the Gonzo Highway Nubs (JB Hatch). They were easy to install and work well. No ground clearance interference at all....

| How do these pipes compare to others tested, like the D&D, or nascar6..etc.? |

Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | The Gonzos go head to head with any pipe I have looked at. The Big Gonzo like all of the "loud" pipes make great HP, but ave a slight drop in bottom end. I am working with Gonzo to nullify that |

Nashville, TN | Wow, I have missed a bunch of info on this page.
Keven just got my "updated" set of Big Gonzoz, so like you, I can't wait to see the outcome. The Big Gonzos work great as they are, but Kevin being the perfectionist, thinks we can get a bit more out of the bottom end with a few tweaks. So, we are tweaking. That doesn't mean the first generation of Big Gonzos were bad mufflers. Kyle at KMC dynoed two Cross bikes with the Big Gonzo mufflers and looking at the charts afterward he didn't see any issues. Kyle said he would leave well enough alone. Well, like Rylan, some of us can't leave well enough alone.
Exhaust gas velocity, scavenging, and controlling the reverberation are key concepts to performance. Port size, length, shape, and total system volume are key to sound quality. As in anything mechanical, a compromise must be reached. Changing one affects another.
The dyno chart Kevin posted was from our regular Gonzo mufflers. We have struggled for a name for those and we have settled on "Stealth Gonzo". They look stock from the outside, but as you can see from the dyno chart, they do not act stock. The sound is more subdued compared to the Big Gonzo as stated in an above post.
It comes back to that compromise between sound quality and performance. The Stealth Gonzo strikes a very good balance, but for those looking for a lower, deeper louder rumble, the Big Gonzos will be your choice.

St. Paul, MN | Contact Mike on his facebook page. He does great work. I have his regular Gonzo's and highway pegs (JB Hatch) installed. I believe it was $140 for the pegs and $250-275 for the exhaust after you return your core's.....
