Bassani Manufacturing - 1F14A - 2x2 Dual Headpipes

I have it on my bike. I don't know how much better than the stock head pipe it is...I swapped it in the winter last year, so I don't have a good "back to back" comparison.
It seems a bit cooler running, and a bit throatier of a note with the Jackpot 3.5" Slash Up mufflers. For my tuner, I run a Power Vision. This winter, I'll be able to take advantage of one of the Bassani features: I'm adding the Target Tune to the bike, and that won't be an issue since there are 18mm bungs already in the pipes. The crossover tube is also full sized, not flattened out like stock. I will say that on hard left turns, I think I'm dragging the heat shield on the crossover a bit; not that I care too much about a little scratching on the shield. I also have new slip ons to add to the bike this spring: Kuryakyn 4" Crusher Mellows. And again, since the bike has been in hibernation since December, I won't have a good back to back comparison of sound and performance- especially with the upgrade to the Target Tune. The Jackpots currently sound decent with the head pipe.
Truthfully, I think it's performance is satisfactory, and the price was much better than it's competitors. It's good that I keep the stock heat shields, so it's less apparent I'm running a different (read: catless) header. That's not a bad thing in the Nanny State of NY.

I'm curious to see what kind of sound/feel I'll have with changing over to the Crushers- and how well the TargetTune kit will dial the bike in. I'll be swapping the mufflers before I fire up the bike for the first time in 2018, so I'll be going on memory for sound/feeling.
