Which 2 into 2 for my FXR?
Of course I mean 2 into 1 but I can't seem to edit the title. I've had my heart set on a thunderheader but now i'm opening my mind to other options. What have you guys had and loved and how do they compare?
Thanks
Thanks

I've been eyeballing the ThunderHeaders for a while too. I'm just a bit concerned that the low point under the footpeg might scrape the ground during aggressive cornering. Hopefully I'll run into somebody the has then on an FXR that can advise.
Thing is my stock punched out pipes are pretty quiet, don't scrape even when my pegs make ground contact, run great even with the S&S 111", and they look half way decent. I'd assume I'd see a bit of a performance gain with the TH, and they do have a great look. But I'm reluctant to drop that kind of money without knowing if they'll scrape, that would be a deal breaker for me.

The ***** Pipe or I mean Thunderheader does have a sound that is hard to beat with good performance. Some of the other brands are known to have better quality and tuning ability but not the sound, I personally like to target a deal on exhaust that someone else has more money than sense and changes pipes like underwear, usually can find the exhaust you want for hundreds less.

I've always loved the sound from a Thunderheader, but run a Fatcat for the better performance.
