Thanks a lot d00d. I'll check these out. Anyone have anything to say about these? Any others? What's the best performing TD headpipes for stock (for the next 2 years) and for future performance as well? Am I asking too much from these exhaust mfrs.? Or from you guys? I'm thinking it's a good time to hear from Harry here too. 8-) Hoist!
Never done the Bassani (I always thought the loop looked goofy and it defeated the purpose of opening up the view of the right side of the bike). Samson was the common option before V&H released theirs a few years ago. So have used two or three sets of them. They were always ok too. Only problem was one set was real thin around where the support bracket was welded on. Ground it off and welded it back up a bit before installation and just used an L bracket and a hose clamp like the V&H's do.
I'd not get too worked up over lack of sensor bungs though. The bungs themselves are cheap and it's no big deal to put them on and, thereby, know you have them just where you want them. If there's not a stick or mig welder at home than cut the hole with a hole saw, do a little body and fender work to smooth down the mounting surface for the bung, and take them to any muffler shop. It's a nothing job for them that they'll likely do for a sawbuck or less in about ten minutes time.
