Default any header comparisons out there?

has anyone done a header performance comparison? similar to what FM is doing with the cams would be great. i know thats a lot of work, so id be happy if there were a few dyno comparisons if someone has tried one header then another. with a few comparisons like that we could get a good enough reference to what works.

basically, im trying to plan out what im throwing at the bike sooner than later. im leaning towards either the red shift or S&S from FM testing, and i like the look and sound of the RCX tormentor, but i dont want to (Cant afford) to throw money at miss-matched parts. yes the sound is important to me, however the parts have to back up that sound.

No dyno at this time, gotta stay on budget. I’m going to tune with the power vision and a map from Fuel Moto
