Those with Rcxhaust
Did you replace the header also?
If so did you choose the Power Max Header or the True Dual Header and why ?
Appreciate it it. Bonus check coming up and am finally going to get the stage one. Have decided on the Rcxhaust and will be going black all the way back . . .

Power Max headers, 4" RCX Slip-ons with Rival Elipse tips, S&S Stealth A/C and V&H FP3.
For me, the sound was what I was looking for, and I've been happy with the performance gain. Search youtube for Power Max headers and you'll get hits with comparative dyno runs on RC headers/slip-ons vs others.
One downside I've experienced with my Power Max exhaust pipes, and friends have also experienced with both S&S and V&H headers is that the front cylinder exhaust pipe mounts/hangs lower than stock. In tight right hand turns, the heat shield scrapes before the floorboards. Mine don't routinely scrape, but if I dip hard in a slow speed right turn, or lean hard right in twisties, I scrape. I've looked closely at the mounting, and there is no opportunity to raise them. The stock headers aren't "stacked" the same and gain enough clearance to avoid scraping before the floorboards.

I am awaiting the 4.5 mufflers but am pairing with their NEW Tormentor head pipe! They are touting exceptional gains!! Once I get it installed and dynode I will post some results! Should be by May 21.

Also, the PowerMax headers closely resemble the Rinehart Slimline....hmm.
Not much can change with head pipe design I suppose: remove CAT, decide on 2-1-2 or 2-2, install, tune, ride.
