Vewwy inerwesting wabbit! Good #'s, I should to get mine tuned and see what happens, Ditto on the burnt pants.

pretty sure the o2 bungs are the only difference, i have one on my 09 super glide and is from the earlier models. i took my o2 censors out and the pc-v came equipped with covers for the censors, works just fine for me after doing research and calling vance and hines with them telling me that the pipe would not fit on my bike, they just wanted me to spend the money on new ones---crazy if you ask me

my six speed dipstick is pretty tight to get out, but with a little finger prying and maneuvering it will come out.

What is the word on wrapping your pipes and then they crack?

I know its an old thread but why start a new one...

Has anyone had any problems with cracking/rusting with their thunderheader?

If you did which wrap were you using.

Thanks in advance.
