Need some advice or solid opinions on 2 headers that I am considering. I have a '15 SGS, Jackpot Pro Touring slip ons, FM Air Cleaner and Power Vision so with that said I am considering the Jackpot SS 2-1-2 header which I know is proven and a solid choice and the other is the D&D X cat 2:2 header (2-1-2) which is a stepped design. I know there are some benefits to the stepped design for certain motors and D&D has a solid product and reputation like Fuel Moto. So I just want to know is one better than the other? I dont plan on any motor upgrades any time in the near future. Help a Soldier out.....
I can't speak for the header from D&D but I can about the Jackpot SS 2-1-2 header. I used the header from Fuelmoto on a previous bike (2011 FLHTK) and loved the entire setup, matter of fact, I used the entire set up you have. I loved the Pro Touring Slip ons but they got a little loud during the long trips after I changed out my cams.
Personally, I assume you got the PV2 from Fuelmoto and since they've sent you the map I would strickly use their products. While you can certainly use other headers and retune / reflash the PV2, I feel the required changes would be minimal if you used the Jackpot SS 2-1-2 header.
Thanks for your service brother. Keep up the good fight.
