For performance and great look I like a 2 into 1 pipe as this scavenges the exhaust best to provide the best performance.

Fatboy and Firedood those 2 in 1 pipes started to grow on me. Since i also have a sportster to go around town i like this fatboy to have touring abaility if needed.So im gonna go for detachable shield and an extra sundowner seat to be able to cruise around here more confortably. 2 in 1 pipes leave a lot of room for big saddlebags and the fact that passenger pegs will be located higher than the pipe is a bonus for the passenger.I think ill go for thunders because of the noise but fatboy can you give me some more deatils about hp and torque gains of the thunderheaders.
thnx and [smiley=drink.gif]

I just put these pipes on with a few other upgrades see http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1133018373

I'm waiting for a 40 deg day to get a 100 miles on it to break it in just a bit, then onto the dyno [smiley=banana.gif]

altugo,
I think you will be more then happy with a 2 into 1. Get ready to set off a few car alarms.

I had some motor work done to mines (cams, headwork, pistons) when I put my V&H on (also had the competition baffle installed), and the performance and torque was really nice. If I remember correctly I was getting in the neighborhood of 75HP and 85ftlbs/Tq (on pump gas) after mods, and this was a 80ci Evo. Good luck, and don't forget to post pics when you get them modifications done.

I bought a set for a satin black old school chopper with wishbone rigid/springer,100 inch motor, Chrome Del'orto dual throat on a long chrome manifold. Guy I was building the chop for wanted looks and the x-pipes blacked out with chrome shields and tips did it for him big time. Sometimes it's about looks and looks only and in my book, that's ok, so long as you realize it. Imagine what some of Jr's (OCC) pipe creations put out on the dyno - - - can you say negative flow exhaust system. Bottom line dude make your bike what you want it to be, ride it with pride and enjoy the lifestyle. Ain't nothin better.

You'll definately notice the performance and sound of the Thunderheader. Though if your lady is riding with you she may call it a bit loud
