I have been checking a number of web pages for catless header pipes, we all
know who is the players in this field. Has anyone bought Power Port Dual Headpipes from
Cobra USA ? How do they preform ? Is the fit & finish as good as
Fuelmoto or Vance & Hinnes ? I know it will cost less if I just remove the
Catalytic Converter out of my header pipe my self, but will I get the same type
of performance out of my header. Let me know what you think, thanks John.
It seems you have your mind already kinda made up towards a true dual type header.
And that's OK, it's a taste thing and it's your bike
Performance-wise, unless you have some kinda monster motor, a de-catted stock header will be your best bang for buck.
you save about $300 doing it this way
I have the Cobra Power Ports on my Road Glide. Fit and finish is very nice. They were on the bike when I bought it but I see no need to change them out. The Power Duals from V&H might provide a little more power or a little deeper ruble but I'm leaving the bike as is. In 10K miles I have put on this bike in 6 months I have no complaints about the pipes.
I don't know if they are coated or not, the Cobra Power Port duals do have a crossover
between the duals to add more torque and balance the back pressure.
S&S also makes an H pipe (like Cobra). The nice thing about H pipes is they look like true duals, sound like true duals, but have a broader torque curve (usually) than true duals.
I like them because they give the "stereo" sound of true duals but better power. Lots of reading availabe on here for these two pipes.
