Unidentified Headpipe on 2012 FLHX
Howdy
Help.
Separate head-pipes to mufflers with rectangular crossover between pipes. Didn't realize this until I got one of the heat shields off.
Doesn't look like Cobra. Anybody have any ideas who makes it.
Was going to put a Cobra on but no reason now.

Looks like it could be an S&S Power Tune header, if it is not a Cobra Powerport. I have the Cobra on my bike, and have a used S&S one on a shelf in my garage. Not much difference in appearance, but the crossover port is a little more forward on the S&S I think.

Now you have me thinking. Since you have both which do you think is the better? I will assume the Cobra since that is what you are running,

I don't see how there could be much difference performance-wise between the two headers. But I'm not an expert by any means - this is my first Harley.

S&S or Khrome Werks, they are the same pipe to an extent... Khrome Werks made the S&S pipe for them before S&S started doing them in-house a couple years ago. We have found the S&S pipes have far more issues coming out of the box than when KW was making them. Bad welds, poor fitment, poor finish seem to be way more common, so with that knowledge we order the KW version, FWIW.
