Just header pipe?
This may be stupid, may be cool. I don't know & that's why I'm asking! Has anybody removed they're stock slip-ons & ran just the header pipe? I guess it'd be similar to a set of short drags but don't know enough about the stocks pipes. Is there enough support w/out the stock slip-ons? Sound? I kinda wasted mine by trying to drill them out. My bikes a 1200 48. Thanks.

I did it on my 48 for about an hour. I thought it looked cool but because the stock pipes brace up at the muffler the headers are only attached at the exhaust ports it sketched me out a little. They also needed something for back pressure. I only did it to see what it would look like when I was changing out my stock pipes.

LOL...I'd get some DEI Ti. header wrap and some DK torque inserts and rock em on out. Put that $300 toward AC & tuner.

Don't do it, it will ruin your low and midrange torque. You can find drag pipes for like 60 bucks and add some lollipop monster baffles if you want it loud
