Finding a catless header will pose another issue. Your bike has 12mm O2 bungs. The older catless header will have 18mm.

Could you do a thunderheader with a tuner that can run wideband o2 sensors? They are 18mm. What's the reason a regular thunderheader won't fit a switchback?

the only thunderheader made for a switchback is a slipon. the one made for dynas will not fit. probably because of the floorboards.
