Hey everyone,
Looking to throw a Twisted Choppers Backdraft Hookah Header on my 2007 Nightster. Personally, I think the pipe looks badass and would match the style of my bike well. It's a 2-1 system so I figured I would get a little boost in power, and plus the price is pretty fair. Just haven't seen many people rocking these pipes and I just wanna know what to expect, like: how's the finish of the ceramic coating? Is the heat bearable with no heat shields? Do they sound nice? Did you see any increases in power? Are there any maps for tuning out there for this pipe? Is it a quality piece?

The other pipe I liked made by TC was the Sportster Evolution Sideshot Hookah Header and had the same questions for that.

Would really appreciate some feedback!
Thanks

 

That style of pipe typically kills low end power and makes a lot of noise. If that’s what you’re looking for, go for it.

 

Just because it's a 2 into 1 doesn't mean it's going to make more power...thats a perfect example of one thats going to kill power and make all your neighbors and anybody that rides with you hate you...yes even more than they hate you now lol. Always remember...its cheap for a reason. All of that is why "you don't see to many people rocking them".

 

I had the SS (Stainless steel) 2 into 1 on my 03 sporty the SS was of a very high quality no bluing just turn a slight golden color and would polish right out, sound wise not really as loud as you would think, power wise eh, was more top ended and looked ****, however; I eventually switched back to my V&H long shots as they had more of that midrange grunt that just makes a bike fun to ride, saying that, my bike was straight up stock, a bike with some engine work done may fair better with this pipe.

 

They are crap for performance any of those type exhaust are. However they are meant to look the part with a bike of that style.
Like many mods on bike it is about looks and not much more.
