Default Thuderheader or Pro-Pipe?
I am looking into changing out my vance & hines 2-1 comp pipe for either a thunder header or a pro pipe. I have a SE tuner, 103 big bore, head work, 211 cams. What would be the exhaust for my set up?

Either one will work. I favor the propipe as thunderheader has had some quality issues and I think it is much louder

Cant give you a mechanical reason as I am not really a wrench, lots of guys here have way more knowledge than I do, but man I love the look and sound of the Thunderheader.

This is my 3rd thunderheader on 3 different bikes & I've never seen any quality issues with any of them.

Supertrapp Supermeg 2:1 is a great exhaust. Makes great power.

+1 on the SuperTrapp.....with the disks it's way more tunable than the others

I like my Pro-Pipe. Good sound, good power, good quality. I've seen some TH with faded and discolored black coating, but they could have been 10-year-old pipes as far as I know.
