2 things.....

1, which rear shocks are those?
2, when are you looking to sell? You have 2 people interested in your pipe. Ndfastln and me.
Why are you changing pipes? The Comp not doing it for you?
I was going to order my Pro Pipe Tuesday, or Wednesday either way.

I am using the V&H pro pipe hs on my 05 super glide.
If you can and do decide to go with a pro pipe check to see if a HS series pipe is available for your bike.
There is a difference in power on the HS pipe.
I like it, not stupid loud but wakes up the low end power.

I have a billet open end cap on my Supertrapp. The sound is a deep rumble. The cops tell me all the time how good it sounds.

If I were to buy a new pipe anytime soon it would be the super trapp because of the discs. Thunderheader is a good choice though. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Thunderheader, the pro pipe looks too weird to me, but i could live with a bassani road rage. But thunderheader needs to get a better ceramic coater, not the highest of quality. Can't beat the sound though. You know when you hear one!!!!

The Pro Pipe is a great unit except for one thing...It hangs pretty damn low. In right handers it will scrape pretty easily (on stock FXDC suspension). After being stood up mid corner a few times, I switched it out for a SuperTrapp.
Both great pipes. I like the sound, fit/finish and look of the V&H better and it's easily the better performing of the two on my bike. However the ST isn't too far off in performance and I get more than enough lean angle and never scrape. Makes for a much more enjoyable riding experience for me.
