Like the look of it...more of a "true dual" look than the usual x-pipe, but I don't know anyone running it.

Ended up going V&H PowerDuals w/Rineharts. Really like them, but still interested in seeing what the RCX performs like.

I went with the tormentor header along with V&H High Output mufflers. I’ll post a video if anyone is interested when my bike is finally ready. 😑

My dealer called to tell me that the tormentor header didn’t fit on my 2018 FLHTK, despite the fact that RC components web site indicates otherwise. So, I took advantage of the opportunity and went with the Fullsac MX header and kept the V&H HO 4.5” mufflers. The result is a very deep rumble and no loss in low end, so I’m happy overall.

Has anyone else installed the tormentor on a 2018 M8?

Pipe manufactures have a lot of time to work the numbers up as high as possible on their dynos.
Most of us don't ever come close to there numbers, I will say Fuel Moto USA shows every step
of the way on how they get their numbers. JMO

The first one lasted 750 miles...any wagers on how long the 2nd one will last??

Also while there they are pulling a RCX headpipe...the one with the exposed crossover...it is cracked!!! 500 miles on this one!!

Would I recommend RCX...not for performance or construction....although I will say the Chrome looks excellent...time will tell??

SORRY if you think I am to hard on a company I just spent $2000.00 with!
mine completely broke today.

I put a set on my 18 SGS and so did a buddy. Neither of us have had issues. I like them, look like dual's but still have the crossover that i heard the M8 needs. I can't say much about performance, but i can say i do have exhaust and sound out of the left pipe now
