  • Harley Davidson Headers, are they worth it? Head Pipe, power and sound upgrade! My ‪@harleydavidson‬ Road Glide already had slip-on mufflers, and high flow air cleaner, and a basic tune, but the exhaust wasn't quite complete. It still needed a proper header to get the exhaust system ready for the ‪@SSCycleInc‬ 475C cam chest that is going into the bike this week. I went ahead and installed a ‪@TABPerformance‬ 2-2 head pipe to open up the system to get it ready to breathe right for the cam upgrade. Head pipes like this are "Race Use Only" and going the way of the dodo, so make sure you get yours while you still can!

    I've always enjoyed the reduced heat and added tone and punch that a better flowing header. I really notice the difference with my 21 RKS with the FM jackpot 2-1-2 headpipe and TAB 4.5s. Of course a PV tune and wow she's a ripper, and the lack of heat on that right side cooking your passenger or own right calf. Love the tone and way she runs. The Grinch is looking great and TAB makes great stuff.

      I have the same Jackpot header but will be putting the Jackpot Street Outlaw mufflers in place of my Cobra neighbor haters. I'm doing a stage 2 cam swap and can't wait to get everything installed. The head pipe change I did alone, reduced felt heat enormously and the bike growls.

    Mainly, must delete the blast furnace (cat) from the passenger foot rest. When my 14TC was new, I deleted my cat at 500 miles and did a V&H tune on it. Today, I have many mods on my scooter… there’s not much that hasn’t been upgraded and the header is still the most appreciated by Nana.

I then watched the wheel install on another bike so now I want wheels and now ive watched this video which now makes me want a new head pipe and possibly new mufflers from TAB Performance. Oh well it's just money. 😊
