Just received my 2/1/2 Jackpots, I am disappointed that htey did not come with a round crossover,
they suggest using the flat stock crossover, it's their opinion that the round one would be of no benefit.
Thoughts?
I get your disappointed you didn't get a round crossover, for whatever reason... just not sure where you got the idea that one was included with the FM head pipe....
However, I'm going to assume the reason that FuelMoto doesn't include one is because, like they told you for your application, the majority of users probably don't need one...
My thought is you should stick with the FM head pipe and stick with their recommendation to use the OEM flat cross pipe for your application...
FWIW... I had a FM Jackpot 2-1-2 on my stage III, '12 Limited.... it had an FM tune and ran great!!! Oh yeah, it had the OEM, flat crossover pipe...
I've been running the JP 2/1/2 header on my 15 Limited for over a year now and love it. I did go ahead and order the round cross-over when I bought the header (I knew it weren't included with the header). I guess I just had $160 burning a hole in my pocket at the time. I knew there wouldn't be a noticeable gain in horse power. There really isn't a noticeable gain in horse power by replacing the Rushmore air intake with a stage 1 air intake like the Arlen Ness Big Sucker but a million guys have done it.
Thanks for all the replies, I decided to keep and Install the FM head pipe, I have known this company for having a great reputation in the biker community, I was just surprised that the round crossover was not included. If in the future i am in need of one I will just order and Install. I have tried all major aftermarket pipes except FM, performance to be determined.
you will like them easy install just follow the instructions
fit for mine was perfect no problems at
make sure you check the gaskets //may be best to use new ones to prevent any leaks
also if you need new clamps the FM stainless ones are very good

I had the jackpot for some time with the FM A/C for stage I. When I decided to do bolt ons -48s - my tuner suggested the full-size crossover. Not wanting to leave anything on the table for a stage II I bit. So I sure don't know what the differential may have been but the bike runs good! One thing I did notice is that I see a lot more condensation steam out of the left side than the right. I hope that doesn't mean anything but more moisture sitting in the pipe.
My left exhaust does the same thing. Clears up after the bike warms up so, guess it's normal.
