Thank you

In a stage 1 or 2 application the harley pipe is fine unless you're going over 130 hp don't waste your money on a different head pipe won't make any difference. Speaking of 2-1-2 pipes not 2-1

I have the rinehart header on my stage 2 107 and I am using the sepst and the add on tuner.
It runs just fine for me.

Id recommend the V&H for sure. Always had great experience with their stuff.

My question is, what are you trying to gain? If it is performance, I don't think you will see it. If anything, the Rineharts are pretty open with little back pressure. Going to a catless pipe might make the performance worse. If it is looks then it is a personal choice. If you are looking for more sound, you might get that, but as I said, it might cost some performance.

Reduction in heat is the only real difference going catless. A touch more volume.

I just installed fuel moto ac/dc air cleaner 2-1-2 headpipe, zippers 468 cam, and thundermax. I already had TAB zombie mufflers that dealership installed when new. All I can say is wow, this bike came to life and I love fuel moto and my bike. Good luck
