I love my TBR. If I hadn't got it I would have got a Thunderheader for sure.

Obviously this is all personal preference though.

I visited the link. They reckon they make the best Street performance exhaust for Harleys. First thing you see is a dyno graph with a torque line with two big troughs low down which is peaky later on. Not a good advertisement there

You're right it could be a number of things causing that but pretty poor advertising and representation of their product in any event.

Wanna sell a product, show it shining. If wanting to show the exhaust has good peak performance, don't claim it's the best Street performance exhaust
