It says they have a 2 inch header design. Seems like everyone else is going with stepped headers.

Thunderheaders are considered one of the top pipes on the Dyna series.

I really like the design / layout / routing of these pipes - very unique. And that pipe should give a ton of cornering clearance.

What I don't like is what it must do to the passenger pegs. Not sure where they will go.

Thunderheader had them on their website. Says they have a 3 week leadout time.

I've run Thunderheaders on various bikes over the years - good exhausts! Customer service from Thunderheader has been reported as "meh."

Those pipes on the Dyna look great!

I thought it was kind of jackassy of them that only dealers can call them. I can understand buying, but I have a breakout and wanted to know if it fit.

Every once in a while - in just about every industry it would seem, you come across a company that makes a decent product but shoots themselves in the foot with poor customer relations.

On the flip side look at all of the mediocre products out there that are successful because of great customer relations.

Spot on AJ they look awesome but your right no passenger pegs.For a stripped down single seat Bobber though they would look good.

Peace.
