I've got the ThunderHeader 2-1 on my 07 Ultra, It seemed loud at first but once ya get used to it its not so bad. It will bark loud when ya need/want it too though. Makes good power and yes is maybe a bit hard to keep clean compared to some.

Thunderheaders are the baddest pipes you can have on your bike. You might not like them if you tour on your bike because they are loud. If you ride local and once in awhile go out of town...get Thunderheaders!

I put the Thunderheader True Duel system on my son's 07 street glide, great performance, deep rumble at idle, but not as loud as their 2into1, (but loud)

What does everyone mean that they are hard to clean??? What makes them any different than other systems? Is the chrome different? I was also thinking of getting their 2into1 system with the falsee left pipe for my 07. Does anyone have this setup w/ pics? Is it louder than the true dual system?
Thanks
