Thanks, I have been trying to find some videos but it is hard to find any with aftermarket head pipes with out cats to see if its worth the money to change. I have heard some comment that they didnt like the sound with out cats in the head pipe.

Kinda took the wind right out of your sail. I get it, these bikes need stage 2, aftermarket stage 2. Then it kinda wakes it up.

That does sound good. The loudest i have heard so far. Any noticeable power loss with the true duals?

I think there's some fukery going on with the larger pipe opening. Those bassanis use the equal diameter opening of the older models.

I think the biggest difference is that they had the idle speed set down, if you listen closely you can tell it, trickery to sell product. Original vid with S&S cam.
