OK--you guys and the motor builder are saying the same things---he gave me the following options (none include the thunder header)

1. Vance and hines pro pipe

2. Bassani Road Rage

3. D&D FatCat

Of the three mentioned which one comes the closest in sound to the thunderheader?

O, forgot to mention #4

4. my wife whipping my azz when she finds out I spent another penny on this cycle

For performance I would rank them
1) Fatcat
2) Road Rage
3) Pro Pipe

For fit/finish I would rank them
1) Fatcat
2) Pro Pipe
3) Road Rage

For sound I would rank them (and this is obviously totally my opinion)
1) Road Rage
2) Fatcat
3) Pro Pipe

So if you get 3 points for a #1 rank, 2 points for a #2 rank, and 1 point for a #3 rank you would get:

Fatcat = 8 points
Road Rage = 6 points
Pro Pipe = 4 points

Obviously the Fatcat is what you should get....... Just having some fun.

It depends on what type of performance you want. I like the T-Header. D&D FatCat Or Borzilla is good I just don't like the look of the pipe or the Sound.

Very well done, Zach.

I would have to agree.....
