Default Rinehart Slimline header and muffs

This weekend I installed a Rinehart slimline header, I already had the 4-1/2" cans on my stock setup. I've installed a lot of exhaust systems in my day but the Rinehart fit and finish is probably the best I've seen to date.

When you take off the bubble wrap from your new header it has all the exhaust shields installed from the Rinehart. It's so nicely done there is no reason to remove or loosen a single clamp to install the system.
Chrome, high quality and the fit was perfect, even the instructions were simple and easy to understand.
Gaskets are provided because the stock gaskets don't work with this system.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to update their stock header.

I'm considering these headers as well. Do these have the crossover or H pipe configuration?

Thanks

Does this header have the different-sized outlets to match OEM muffler inlets left vs right? I like this header and think this will be my next purchase.

Yes. Basically it's the same diameter as what factory would be which is why any slip-on that would fit a factory header will fit this header.

I just like using the same company through the exhaust system.

I've installed multiple headers in my life, this was by far the cleanest and easiest set on a touring bike I've ever done. All your factory shields are to be put away for safe keeping. the entire system comes with new shields pre installed to the exact location they should be to ensure install without removing them.
For $572 it was an easy decision. I prefer a 2-1 system over anything else and had my bike not came with Rineharts already on it, I would have went with a Bassani Road rage system.

Thanks! I'm a big fan of Rinehart's stuff. I bought the TAB units since you can change the baffle if you want. They have a nice, low growl, but not like the Rineharts. I'm hoping that a cat-less header will get the TABs where I want them. If not, I my go with the Rinehart muffs as well. Where did you buy your header?
