Default Head pipe choices

I posted this on another forum and trying to get opinions of those who have hands on knowledge and experience . Looking at either the Fullsac or FM Jackpot 2-1-2. They look very similar but I’m sure there must be some differences. Anyone have experience with these?

I have a 2021 RGS 114 m8 and looking at pairing one of these headers with either a woods 22XE or Star Racing 30/30 cam. I already have Hi roller mufflers.

I have the Fullsac, but have no experience with the FM. You're close enough to Havasu that if you chose the Fulllsac you could run over there they can dyno tune it for you too. I did, and am quite happy with it.

I have the fuel moto and am happy with it. I believe the full sack comes with a different cross over pipe.

They are both very well made pipes, they both reportedly tune well, and both have many satisfied customers.

On a street driven bike with up to moderate mods and a good tune, I doubt you'd be able to tell any difference....

I've done business with FuelMoto many times and I am very pleased with their products, and especially their customer service. I installed that FuelMoto pipe on my '12 Stage 2 bagger. It fit well and performed well.. I now have another of their pipes on my '16 bagger, that has a much bigger build, with similarly great results...

I have not done business with FullSac, but I have read many good reviews of that product and don't doubt it's quality or performance....

I don't believe either choice would be a bad choice....

I bought a Fuel Moto head pipe (and Jackpot mufflers) back in 2012ish for my 2010 Road King (first year with cat converter?). Worked great, zero issues. Last summer Fuel Moto did a full 107 build for me and that headpipe is working just fine still...quality piece.

What's wrong with the stock header pipe? Only mod needed is gutting the cat. My scoot runs consistent low 12's around 110 mph....

That’s what I just did. I was going to order the Fuel Moto head pipe, but got antsy one day, took my exhaust off and gutted it. Then sent my stock pipes (I love the look of stock touring mufflers) to Fullsac to have them weld in their two inch baffled inserts. Just reinstalled it all today.
