I went with Fullsac...and would again.

 

I did too, very recently, only got a couple rides in, but she seems to run great, and I like the extra noise, LOL

 

I would argue that with a properly engineered pipe, stepping is unnecessary. I would also argue that coated stainless will last longer than mild steel (coated or not). I'd also argue that it says quite a bit about a manufacturer when they offer a lifetime warranty (no clue what Fullsac offers).

I ran a coated Jackpot 2:1:2 for 20,000 miles and did extensive TTS tuning with it. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it (along with the 4" Dyno-Tuned Jackpot mufflers) performs every bit as well as a D&D Fatcat, if not a little better. I had the pipe on and off the bike at least half a dozen times, and it's a quality piece. I've had several lengthy conversations with Jamie regarding tuning and exhaust design, and he is without question knowledgeable about this stuff (I'm an amateur by comparison). And on top of that, you will not find any other company that deals in Harley parts and/or service that offers the level of service that Fuelmoto does, period. No fooling, if Jamie offered a Stage 1 for my BMW, I'd buy it.

I have never dealt with Steve at Fullsac. I know he has quite a following over on the CVO forum. It appears that he offers quality products and services as well, however I go with what I know, and at this point it's Fuelmoto.

 

I have never seen the other pipe first hand and can only speak for the Jackpot 2/1/2 however there are definitely differences between them. Our Jackpot head pipes are constructed completely from 304 stainless while the other is mild steel. Jackpot head pipes carry an industry leading Lifetime Warranty. Our pipe also has both 12mm and 18mm bungs which will support factory and aftermarket wideband sensors and we include plugs for them as well. Our pipes are completely CNC formed which not only will flow better as there are less joints and welds, but it allows us to use only 5 sections of tubing for the entire pipe instead of many more sections welded together. Our pipe has been tested in many, many applications, we have a wide range of dyno charts on our website and also have many PC-V, Power Vision, and Thundermax calibrations for our systems. We also offer an optional proprietary HTC inner/outer ceramic coating.

Bump for some more traffic

 

Both are good pipes. What made my decision was the excessive wait time with the Fuel Moto pipes.

 

Hate to resurrect an older thread but this is a perfect place to ask my question.
I see the Fullsac X pipes have a CNC machined head flange. I am not sure about the flange on the FM Jackpots but it looks to me to be more squared off and not machined as precisely.
Any opinions on this flange dilemma, does one seal better that the other etc. ?????

 

I think you're referring to power duals from V&H.

Both the X-Pipe from fullsac and Fuel Moto's 2-1-2 use the stock sheilds, so their lean angle would be exactly the same.

 

I am thinking seriously of getting the Jackpot 2-1-2 headers. Can someone explain to me the benefits of ceramic coating the head pipes. My understanding so far is that it makes for better gas flow through the pipes and heat reduction on the outside of the pipes. If this is true is there enough benefit to justify the extra cost?

 

I am running the ful sac pipe and have been very satisfied with there product. There is one difference that is noticeable. When the heat shields are in place on the Ful Sac they do not line up just as perfectly as stock, whereas the Fuel Moto lines up just perfect. A friend of mine put the FM on his bike, this is when we noticed the difference. Also he had his FM pipe coated inside and out. Rode his bike when we were on a ride, so both bikes were good and hot. Could not notice any difference in exhaust heat from the two. Either pipe would be a good purchase. Have the jackpot 4" with the FS pipe and bike runs excellent. Made in the USA
