Default New T-header pipes on the Dyna.

Just installed a new Thunderheader pipe on my dyna superglide. Took a ride today and these pipes ROCK, best sounding pipes i've had so far. These are worth the $ if you got it, might also get the heat shields or modify the stock ones for it.


They were not too hard to put on IMO and im not a pro mechanic at all. Now to install the new air cleaner when it comes.

Had previously bored holes in the stockers and they sounded like crap LOL.

I'd like the performance the pipe offers but I just can't get into the looks. I know everyone who has them sure loves them though.

Love mine. I am soooooo glad my V&H High Output Pro Pipe crapped out on me with a leak at the header/muffler, and the shop replaced it with a 1031 T-Header. Awesome sound, and great performance.

P.S. I like the looks of the T-Headers

Yeah the looks aren't for everyone liking, alot of pipes are more showy. Funny I was looking at V&H pro pipes too, sorry to hear yours crapped out on ya but nice of the shop to put on the t-header.

Just got a arlen ness big sucker in today, think I will get a new round cover for it but have the stock one for now, and put on the fuelpak tuner and I think its a good combination.

If you have a Thunderheader and a less restrictive AC and you haven't had your bike dyno tuned you're leaving a bunch of horse power on the table.The guy who tuned mine is a well known local big inch Harley guy and a fan of True Duals, he was totally blown away by the HP and torque numbers he was able to pull out of my mostly stock TC88.Plus the way these things rev with the Thunderheader is awesome,

Thanks, I like it a lot too. I actually like it better without a faceplate on it.
