Default 103 Header Suggestions
Best header choice for a 2014 SGS Rushmore 103. Concerned mostly with fit and quiet sound levels.
I tried a decatted OEM head pipe, and wondering about better options.(maybe someone has a used one in their private stash)?

I had a Bassani Road Rage FLH-737 with a ghost pipe that had enormous torque on my 103. Huge improvement over a de-catted stock header. Took it off for a cobra when I blacked the bike out. It's on the shelf if you are interested.

I have a Fullsac MX pipe on my Road King and had one on the 2014 CVO Limited I recently replaced. Those have worked great for me. The Road King has Rinehart pipes on it, and as such is not real quite, but on the CVO I used Fullsac cores in the stock mufflers which worked out very well without getting too loud. Fuelmoto also has a good header (Jackpot) for sale which I am considering for the new bike. Both Fullsac and the Jackpot headers fit under the stock heat shields.

If performance is a concern, 2/1 is all the rage.

I ran a Supertrapp 2 into 1. Loved it...Could changed the sound level and power by adding or subtracting discs. A truly adjustable exhaust system.

I used V&H power duels worked good and a good fit. I put a set of Rush's on another bike for a friend fit was not as good but worked.

Another vote for the Fuel Moto 2-1-2 head pipe including their ceramic coating.
