I've been round and round with this and I can't decide which exhaust to get.
It's either the Thunderheader or Bassani Road Rage II.
That's it - not interested in others.
Money is not a factor.
I had totally decided to go Bassani but then I rode next to guy with a Theader and that changed my mind...
Then I decided for Bassani again because the Theaders heat shields are funky. I could wrap them but can't decide if that looks good or not.
So one way or another I'm buying an exhaust by tomorrow.
Which should it be and why?
(Remember: ONLY between the Thunderheader and Road Rage II).
Thanks.

 

I can tell you what all the harley employees run....road rage II

 

I think the thunderheader is a tad ugly to be honest.

 

I have the Thunder header and it sounds great. I only have 3500 miles on it and the front of it is already rusting from the morning fog.

 

Road Rage

 

Between those two....Road Rage

 

I think that thunder header makes the best looking pipe hands down. I seriously want one for my bike real bad. I vote thunder header!

 

Ask Joe Knapp (the Powder Pro) what he thinks of Thunderheaders. He fixes them often enough to comment with some authority.

I personally would not shell out $700-$900 for an exhaust that I KNOW is gonna rust within a year no matter how great it sounds.

Get the Bassani.

 

Anything but the TH. I had several bad experiences with their products. The sound is great, the power is good, but one pipe cracked and the other bracket cracked. And it was only after a few short months.

 

I put a new road rage on my fatbob did not like the sound of it sounded too automotive. had it tuned rode for a while sold them on ebay cheap. switched too bigshots. they had a nice sound and had it on dyno the power and torque between the two was very little. sold them and installed a thunderheader after hearing several on different bikes. only installed the two front heat shields like the looks with just the two shields. and after the big bore install this exhaust has the meanest sounding note, and gets a lot of complements. there is nothing out there that has that sound period!
