A few years ago, when I had a little less hearing loss, I bought a used Red Thunder exhaust for my 2016 LRS and promptly sold it, as it was too loud for me. Well, add 4 years, lots of wind noise and gunfire, and apparently some hearing loss since I had a D&D fat cat on a Softail, One of the loudest pipes out there, and it didn’t bother me!
So while I really like my FuelMoto E-Series pipe, the sound wasn’t the best, and I’ve been looking at Thunderheaders. But knowing they start to degrade the minute they hit air, I was hesitant. Then yesterday I noticed FuelMoto is now the exclusive US distributor of Red Thunder pipes. So after talking to Jamie (and learning they wouldn’t be included in his Black Friday sale) I decided to go for it.
For those who don’t know the story, supposedly a particular angelic 1% group funded an exhaust company in Italy to build a thunderheader copy out of ceramic coated stainless, with a removable insert to pass EU sound regs. And the Red Thunder was born. From my short experience with it, it looks, sounds and performed like the real thing. And won’t turn to rust in two weeks.
So I expect to have it in about 3 weeks. Looking forward to it! I’ll post photos and a video once installed.
This is awesome. I had no Idea FM carried the Red Thunder exhausts, honestly I thought they went under because you just don’t see them anymore.
That being said I can’t think of a better company to have distribute. I can’t wait to see Jamie do his thing and give us some dyno numbers.
Subscribed, looks as if the silencer it's short than a thunder header.. Very interested in how it sounds .
love my D&D. Yeah it's loud... None of my riding buddies like it soI put my Supertrapp back on with no end plates at all just open like the old kirkers were.. It's pretty good but nothing like the D&D..

here are the two, TH top and RT low. Looks like the muffler is slightly shorter.
Absolutely longer head pipe to collector with a shorter silencer. Are they stepped and if they are what are the sizes?
“The header starts with a 1 3/4 " tube on the head , with a smooth stepped transition to a 2 " tube all the way into the merged collector . The 2 in 1 collector merges into the silencer with a 2 1/4 tube.”

From their Facebook page
Sounds like it'll work good for the bigger motors, all but the two and a quarter inch collector.. I would have thought it would have been two and a half inch. It would probably make for better torque.. Do you know what motor numbers you have with your current pipe or a dyno sheet to be able to compare it with the new pipe? And I'm not talking about numbers really more or less the curve of the torque...
