That's what I run on my RK, with stock mufflers and SE Heavy Breather intake. Great setup. Heat dropped way dawn, sound is good with stock mufflers. Too loud for me with V&H Ovals.

I'm running a Fullsac. I got a great deal on it from a guy on the forum here. He put a duel system on. I love it, got rid of a lot of heat and she runs good. I saved my stock header just in case the gov. gets a bug in it's but about the cat. If I didn't get the deal on the Fullsac I would have went Fuel Moto.

I assume the stock heat shields fit.

I like my street cannons with the headers, they are 50 state mufflers. It's not to loud and sounds like a bike, not a lawn mower. The heat shields take a little fooling with but they fit on well and look stock.

Did the sound of your street cannons change much with the header swap? I'm running stock catted header with street cannons & love the sound. Old bike had monster ovals which I liked but the cannons sound better IMO. I've read guys saying sound changes plus gets a lot louder on cannons with aftermarket header. When I buy I'll go with fuel Moto for header & tuner. They did my last engine build, have earned my future biz.

I've used stock, de-catted stock, V&H's offering, and FM's offering. The FM header is still on the bike. Can't find any reason to complain about it.
Of course if you really want performance + weight savings, you should consider a 2-1.

I have gutted 3 of them by cutting them open and welding them back. And I'm here to tell you they NEVER just ease out of there.
Just sayin.

Been there, Even if you don't buy a used pipe and cut cat out of stock pipe its four hours to cut old cat out and reweld not hard but time consuming and even with a tune will never run as good as real head pipe that chamber is a problem those that say different just have not tried both. IT will run it will be cooler, will be a little louder but you Will loose power even with a tune again chamber is the problem.
