The sound!!!!!!
I saw this video today and its the first sound from catless headers that I like. To me that lope type sound at idle sounds fantastic. Looks like that's the RCX tormentor header. Think I may give them a try once I hear them in person at the thunder beach rally in a few weeks........ and I know bla bla bla warranty. But I want my harley so sound good which is a risk I'm willing to take. ( The video will play with stock header first then aftermarket)

They've got an aftermarket cam installed as well, they disclose that in the video comments. I felt the same about these being the first catless headers I've heard, with or without cam upgrade, that I really like.
I actually scheduled a Stage II upgrade with SE Torque cam, and these headers for Saturday. I think this setup will really complement the Bassani DNT's I have installed.

I thought it was too good to be true but I did get jump off the couch excited when I heard it a couple of weeks ago before Mike advised about the cam. Cam aside, you can still hear a very noticeable difference in the tone and depth of the exhaust, just listen to the difference in the 2 videos when the starter is first pressed and engine is turning over. That sweet cadence is all cam though. With these headers and the full size crossover, the left pipe will actually be functional.

Without a cam, a full system is till unacceptable for me. Too quiet.
HD designed these bikes to be quiet with the 4 valve head design. Unless you remove the baffles the only way is a cam.

Looked at it again...still didn't catch that. But, regardless of the cam lope, I like the sound.

This is the 2nd video that the person does with a cam install yet fails to mention that VERY important detail until later.
I can tell you this, I just put cfr knockoffs on mine with the stock header and it's pretty so so. Even to the point that I think their video with the "stock" header might have had a tuner in it already too.
