Default Thunderheader for the m8 softail?

Has anyone seen one on the road? The website says available in August 2018 but I can't find one. Getting a hold of someone from thunderheader is damn near impossible

If you are not a TH dealer they will not talk to you..... flat out. I live 40 miles away from where they are made and it might as well be an island in BFE. Your best bet is to find a local indy shop that sells them and have them reach out to get answers.

I was looking for info on their possible release of X series pipes for FXRs with 2" primaries since I have always ran TH but after months I couldn't get anything and there were plenty of large trade shows in that time frame they would have debuted them at if close to release so I moved on and had to part ways with my love TH's

I’ll probably get hate mail for saying this but there are much better performing exhausts than the Thunderheader. D&D for example—— blows away the TH in performance.

Irish I ended up going all out and got the LSR Prostock from RB Racing. I love my TH but this pipe sounds like a TH on steroids having a roid rage. Its deeper, louder, meaner. Gives you that "not a newb rider here" vibe haha

Jbarr you take your facts and shove them right up a D&D tailpipe haha Just F'in with ya, while I am a TH diehard Im not one of the TH natzis that says one way or nothing at all. To each their own and TH is def not for everyone......................................... just everyone who is right hahaha

Ha ha!! I hear ya! I’m just basing my facts on years and years of dyno results and customer feedback. There are certainly fans of each pipe. Customer satisfaction is absolutely the end goal.

I'd sell my bike before I gave up my D&D Fatcat exhaust.
