ok I have thunderheader on FXDB they sound great but after 6 months they already showed signs of surface rust and that's all I hear about them. you just gotta keep on it by sanding it and re painting it. as far as customer service goes for the company straight garbage they don't care about the customer whatsoever. multiple shops will tell you that dealing with thunder header is a straight headache. ive been waiting for my pipes for 2 months and they are just stonewalling my shop. FYI they are made to order.

The shop manager at Doerfler's in Hays told me he gets his best performance with a TH and the V&H FP3 tuner.
Another pipe you should check on is the Dragula 2 from Frank Drago. Excellent pipe; designed by Frank and built by Rush. Ceramic coated inside and out.

I had them on my 09....... never again. Serious ground clearance issues. Cracked header and rust where the heat shield for the x-over goes over the rear heat shield. Went through 2 sets.....no thank you.
