Default Head pipes for 15 road glide Bassani or Fullsac

Looking to change the head pipes on my 15 road glide soon and have narrowed decision down to Bassani 2x2 or fullsac head pipes. Can those with experience with these chime in with your thoughts. Currently running stock header with Bassani DNT mufflers. Also have power vision already installed as well as heavy breather.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a Fullsac CX pipe and it makes good power. The DX is supposed to be better. I pulled a Fat Cat 2-1 off the bike and put this on. Has almost as much torque/power but is quieter.

Can’t speak for Bassani but my fullsac header made all the motor work come alive plus reduced heat over stock non cat header... but if doing it again would go fuel moto stainless as the mild steel fullsac has had to be repaired twice...but of course my old supertrapp stainless needed repairs too, and the pre ‘09 stock headers are famous for breaking...

I'm considering either the Fuel moto jack pot 2 into 1 into 1 or the Fullsack sport pipe....I can't find many reviews on the sport pipe but the fuel moto website has some impressive dyno sheets using their exhaust. Fullsack also makes a pipe similar to the fuel moto...the sport pipe is tempting because of the price an I figure I don't need the more expensive pipes since I don't plan on adding cams.

Nothing wrong with your headpipe from a performance perspective. This dyno is with a stock head pipe. And of course, different cams.

I've also considered just having the head pipe decatted. Is there a huge difference in new headers vs decatted stock head pipe? Main reasons are for sound and heat reduction. Not really looking for big performance gains with the pipes. That will come later with cams after I've ridden it another year or so. I've learned I'll hold on to one longer when I wait a while to wake up the engine. After cam swap and a good tune its like riding a new bike or has been for me in the past.
