RE: Do different headers matter?
Thank you 379 Glide. That was exactly what I was asking.

think everyone missed the question, or maybe i'm wrong but i think what he was asking is .... is there a difference in which true dual header pipes you use or are all true dual header pipes created equal

I know there are many different mufflers and different performance levels that come with them. My question is, do the different headers matter as far as performance goes. I'm speaking of the "True dual" headers. I have SuperTrapp mufflers on my 08 SG and the bike is having a BB kit installed. I like the open look of the true dual setup and was thinking of having it done. V&H, Rinehart, which one or does it matter. No need to comment on my mufflers as I like them and won't change them.

You will have to be the judge. Even if the stock header is 90% of someone else's crossovered header, the $300 or so plus install of that part will get you some other parts that you may prefer even more...
aaaahhhh the choices we get to make...

RE: Do different headers matter?
Just pick one of the kits. If one of the conversion kits was bad, we would all know about on here as everyone posts opinions and dyno results.
I just had the V&H headers put on and I love them. I have Rhinehart Eaglebeak slip-ons as the muffler. My '06 RG also has the HD 95" stage II kit. My RG runs way better now after the addition of the headers and PCIII. Before I just had stock head pipes with the Eaglebeaks and the basic HD stage II download.
Get what you like and get the bike tuned by a good tuner using a PCIII USBor SERT. Your SG will run great.
