I think his point was that this is a Rush thread, no need to highjack it just because you own a Drago's style pipe. Even if it is built by Rush. Which is why I was wondering if they were both built by the same company you would care to try to sell the product sold under another name?

BBurn...I have a used in good condition set. On bike for less than 1000 miles. Before I went on military deployment I decided to go a different route with my scooter. I just returned a few months ago and am willing to let go for $200.00. Please email me @ gihec@yahoo.com.

Well I did some shopping and spoke to Frank. Dragos are around $55-$75 depending on Dragos shipping cost. They are different, but how much you gain in performance is probably not that big of a deal. I am mainly concerned in the reduction of heat and the sound.

Either header you go with you will be very happy.
Both will drop 200/300 heat of the header guarantee.
Both perform great
And I sell both.
Thanks FD

The Drago's offer a spiral cut to create a turbine flow for increased power.
