Default Thunderheader quality really that bad??

98 Heritage, getting top end freshened up and looking to get rid of the trimmed V&H longshots I have now . Im either going duals with fishtails or some sort of chrome 2 into 1 - to be different. Everybody and their mom has fishtails but I do love the look and sound. Ive researched for days and seems power wise the TH is the way to go but iffy on the quality of the part itself. Any of you guys have any feedback? Also not sure how they would look on this bike, i do prefer loud btw. Thanks

D&D Fatcat. Quality is second to none, loud as all get out, and an easy install.

Default thunderheader

I agree that the fatcat sound is not for everybody.I had one for a short time.Sold it and bought the t-header.
Great t-header sound with no issues..

I have had two TH's, bought both over 10 years ago. No problems with either.

TH is a good pipe but I don't think they look as good as an RB Racing LSR C-Style 2-1........ Especially on a Heritage.....
