I am hoping to find someone here with one so I can hear it in person. I am thinking the black TH with the same DEI titanium wrap I have now would look AWESOME

That would look nice! What are you thinking of for bars?

Finally listened to the Fatcat and I wasn't impressed. Sounds too much like a high pitch whine instead of the throaty sound a HOG sound make. I know sound is in the beholder, and to this beholder, the THs sounds way better. Now I need some good pics of guys with Ths on so I can get a good idea of what they really look like in chrome.

Should I get the heat shields as well?

You should get the heat shields from what I know.

Looks are in the eye of the beholder too, and in these eyes those thunder headers are just plain ugly LOL.

'Bout heatshields, they sell three.

2 for where the pipes meet the engine heads and 1 for the "Y" section of the pipe. I don't like the way that 3rd heatshield looks (and that heatshield is the most expensive), so I just got the two small pieces that cover the part of the pipe which is exposed to higher temps, and there is where blueing or discoloration may appear.

Mimo.
