It is almost exactly like the original head pipe but without the catalytic converter. It actually calls for using the stock heat shields...which I am running.

I your Cobras have no converter I doubt you will gain anymore performance on a stage 1.

I love me some Thunderheaders though! 2:20 to 2;35 of my video clip. It pulls hard!!
Thanks. The cobras have no converter but they are wide open similar to CFR's. I have a stage 2 on the bike now and debating more.

Oh I see. You mean the Cobras you have are the slip-ons. So stock head pipe? Sorry if I'm confused by this...already had a couple of beverages!

I have the 2-1 set up though, and on a Japanese twin engine bike and still hear that rumble!

Put these Thundercones on my RoadKing 4 years ago and still love it. They even sound better with age 66k on bike now.
