Ok.. i traded in a 09 flhx with the good head pipe, bub 7 slipons, and a tts mastertuner and arlen ness stage 1 air intake pushing 84 hp and 109 tq

i now have an 11' fltrx with the 103 powerpack. i plan to do the tts again and another stage 1 air intake. my question is on the exhaust i know i have the cat.. i dont care to cut knock out and re tig the stock headpipe..

so i plan to do an aftermarket headpipe and slipons. who is making the best head pipe. as in most power ect... im reading lots of good things about a few different once such as the jackpot, v&h power dual , ect.. there all in the same ball park price wise i just want the best bang for the buck with great quality too.

yes i used the search button and thanks in advance

Cut the cat out of the new one... stout numbers on the 09, was this a 96" motor and were there cams installed?

 

i dont wana cut the cat out id rather replace the head pipe alltogather
the 09 was a stock 96 with stock cams..i think a lot is in the person you have doing the tuning..

 

V&H Power Duals, Fuel Moto, and Fullsac are all awesome headers. You'll read plenty of "pros" on this forum for each product.

 

i agree inlays the dilemma...i am crossing my fingers that someone can chime in with numbers or something to sway me 1 way or the other...

 

Do not cut the cat,cause when you trade dealer will deduct money.If your state goes to epa check you will be screwed.I have Fuel Moto and love it $450.

 

buy a '10 or '11 headpipe off ebay...take out the cat...save yours just in case...

buy an '09, and weld bungs in the '11 location...

if youre gonna buy aftermarket, buy the FuelMoto...uses stock heat shields...

+1 on the Fuel Moto. A 2 into 1 into 2 is supposed (by thier dyno numbers) give more power than 2 into 1 which used to be the top performer. I know that the tuned Jackpot headpipe sounds better on my 103 than my 08 96 Ultra did with everything else being the same (A/C, Mufflers). I really noticed it come to life after I made the upgrades but my mileage sucks.

 

FullSac uses the factory heat shields as well, and they fit perfectly. I went with the FullSac because it comes ceramic coated black and that fits my bike's color preference.

 

109 Torque from a stock 96 without cams? Just a slip ons, TTS, and a tune? I have a GREAT tuner and I got 113 TQ with a full 103 kit! I'm just saying, you may be hard pressed to match that performance in a 2011 using like products.
