Default Thunderheader or Supertrapp

Anyone have any first hand experience with either the Thunderheader or Supertrapp 2 into 1 systems? I really like the idea of a 2 into 1 system to get the most out of my 08 1200R, but I'm concerned about reducing the cornering clearance as well as which one really works. I've heard good things about both systems but not from anyone who actually has one on their bike.
Anyone got any input?

Default RE: Thunderheader or Supertrapp

I have had both. First off, you need to pick the pipe you prefer to look at. The supertrapp is tuneable and can be cleverly tuned to move the torque where you like to ride. The thunderheader is a great pipe and has a great sound. My dynoed about the same with both pipes but the torque was available a little earlier with the trapp. Both are great choices.
