Thanks, that's really all I'm after. A little more volume and getting rid of the cat so my passenger's right foot isn't burning up.

Tab performance 2 into 2 header with the 4.5 bam sticks. I gutted the cat on my old road king oem pipe, definitely better without the cat whatever head pipe you choose.

FM 2-1-2 head pipe w/ FM 4.5 Jackpot RTX slip ons.

I lost a little low end when the head pipe went on running V&H torquer 450's. I gained that back when I switched to the jackpot RTX mufflers. Happy with the sound and performance.

Rinehart 4.5 DBX installed last year. Cobra header installed this year. It's considerably louder now than with stock head pipe
