Default Brain Cell overload!

Headers....
Most repeated names:
Thunderheaders
V&H
MSG
D&D
Dragos
Reinharts

I'm sure there are more, sorry if I didn't list them

?? Can just go to the web site and just order headers only? Or do I have to get the can to go with?

It seem like folk are chosing headers and selecting different cans base on the particular sound they want is that correct?

Thanks I'm going to learn this game.... lol

Most 2-1 pipes are systems with the header and muffler that go together. 2-1-2 or true duals can be mismatched. Different brand mufflers and different brand head pipes. Yes some do that to customize there sound or performance. Go to a bike night or three and when you hear a sound you like ask about it. Most folks are happy to talk about the money pit they ride.
