Headpipe-feedback?
I am contemplating going with a gutted head pipe and came across this on eBAY-
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181055222921?
Anybody got any feedback on going with one of these? Are they worth it? I don't have access to gutting my own header or know anyone locally that can/will do it.
Trying to save some bucks with going with one of these & some slip-ons versus going with a complete "performance package". For now at least, mostly looking to improve the sound & cut back on the heat.
thx for the feedback!

I stay away from ebay myself.
gutted cats show up on our own classifieds frequently

I don't know the seller, and there are more.
the restrictions on who can post classifieds makes ours pretty safe bet.

Today I find at least 6 different ads on eBay for de-cat header pipes. I purchased one 2 weeks ago from one of the sellers, they shipped it promptly, was as advertised, they had done a nice job, no issues.
Check there feedback, eBay doesn't put up with regular vendors doing their customers wrong.

What's the going price for those on e-bay? I'm deciding what to do with my 09 head pipe and factory shields.
Looked myself, anywhere from $125 to $150 without heat shields.

I went with B&E's gutted headpipe just because I like the way they cut a "window" to remove the cat, rather than cutting it in half. I'm not looking for every ounce of performance from my bike and gutted stockers perform very close to aftermarket 2-1-2 systems from my understanding.

Which EBay Seller
I have been looking at the seller the OP asked about who cuts the pipe in half:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181055222921...921%26_rdc%3D1
And this seller who appears to have an exhaust business and cuts a window:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271135418165...165%26_rdc%3D1
http://www.superflowmufflers.com/
Two different ways to gut a cat, but which is the best way to do it?

Most people recommend the window. Cutting it in half, for some, made it more difficult to re-install because of it being a tad shorter.
