Howdy folks. So, I had a V&H 2-1 system on my FLD for the past four years, and one day I noticed a pretty loud, and sudden exhaust leak coming from the head. Turns out, the weld cracked on the tip of the rear header (apparently this isnt uncommon for V&H..?).
Anyways, I decided to put my stock pipes back on with a slip-on muffler from Cobra for some better than stock sound. I also decided to try wrapping for the first time. I know the downsides of wrapping, but Im ok with it for now. What do you guys think? It ended up discoloring pretty immediately on the headers, but overall Im happy with how it turned out.
