Thumbs up I'm running THUNDERHEADERS NOW!!!

I have tried to talk myself out of Thunderheaders every since I bought my Hog. I got tired of listening to others who had them and deep down knew I wanted a pair, well a fellow rider was selling a pair of used TH's for $150.00! There was no way I could pass this one up. So how do I like them now that they are on my bike Sssswwweeeeeeeeet!
Just got be careful with the wrist....

Are these the slipons and what did you change from and did you have to reprogram your tuner?

Nice price.

I ran thunderheader slip ons for a year, and then took them off in favor of the Rinehart True Duals. They were ok for an hour or so, but after that, just too loud. That and no one ever wanted to ride behind me

Yes these are slip-ons, I already have True Duals (V&H Dresser Dual Headers). I changed from RUSH with 57MM baffles in each. The sound was loud, but not deep enough for me. As for my tuner, yes I am remapped for my set up and she is running smooth.

Highway speed isn't bad. I am still rocking down the Highway because I am not not running pure stock audio system. I have ARC mini amp with ARC speakers I hear it my sounds loud and clear.
