Cheers

Pipe is back on and I am now looking for the detailed page by page on the SERT.  Someone sent me the link a long time ago and now I can't find it again.
I think it may have been on a V-rod website. 
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I did the Cat removal mod as well. I had my header ceramic coated after the mod. I dropped it off last night for my dyno tune. I will keep you posted on thre results.

What affect on the warranty does this have?  It seems it would be wise to find a head pipe from another bike just so you'd have the original one if you needed warranty work.   Does anyone know how this affects it?

So, where does one have a headpipe ceramic-coated? Is that what Jet Hot is all about? I found out there's a local Jet Hot dealer in Nashville...

Jet Hot is one of many vendors that perform the Ceramic and Sterling coating to headers. I have a set at Jet Hot now.

Do you mind me asking what this costs?

Not at all - I have the cost posted on another thread. I'm paying $210 (I think that what I have on the other thread) and Jet Hot is coating my headers with their Extreme Silver coating - this coating is little different than ceramic. They coat in side and out - this helps with heat going through the header as oppose to through the surface (metal) of the header, which in turns hits the rider. I agree the cost is high but I got the header for low cost and since they are already off the bike, why not - Lord knows we pay enough loot for these bike. This price does not include shipping. I believe Jet Hot's cost for ceramic and their Sterling coating is a little less.

Hope this helps.

Is there any performance difference between:-

Modifying the stock headers / Using Non-CVO Headers and installing Vance & Hines Power Duals, if not then the cost saving looks very beneficial.
