The new X series Thunderheader for M8 is not as loud as the previous model but any exhaust is going to be loud on a big bore engine, but not like a D&D.
That TH is a good looking pipe, fits the Lowriders nicely IMO.
I went with the Jackpot. ill put it on then ill get it coated over the winter. I really like the look of the Thunderheader but it might be to loud for me and its double the price.

With the baffle removed, the Jackpot has big horsepower potential with the 131".
I'm pretty happy with my Jackpot 2-1. It's anything but quiet though. I installed it when I put the CR480MT cam in, so no comparison of stock cam sound level. Great looking and performing pipe and probably the best bang for the buck for 2-1 performance pipes.
Yep, I’m amazed by how quiet it is at 60mph cruising, just wind noise. Not many miles, I’d imagine the muffler will settle in and get a few DB
It will.

They do work well. I enjoy mine very much. They also polish up real nice!
That's good to know. As I get the tune dialed in I will be looking to clean up the pipe. What's your method? I was going to go after it with scotchbrite pads based on a video I watched. Any tips?

I recently bought one and they no longer have a adjustable baffle. I emailed about it and they said they have not been using those baffles for a couple years. I have a couple of their 12” adjustable baffles, one I was using in my S&S Super Street. It made a big difference in my S&S. With some slight mods I installed it in the Jackpot and it made a noticeable difference. 2023 Low rider with a Redshift 472 and power vision tuned by Fuel Moto and several street target tunes.

Green scotchbrite pads are a little to aggressive for me, I used the Gray colored ones cut into 2in wide strips loaded up with Mother’s Mag Wheel Polish, then made a second pass with the finer White scotchbrite pads cut into 2in strips loaded up with MMW polish, a few old socks the dogs chewed up too remove the heavy residue, the final wipe down/wash was done with a microfiber and windex.
I used up a lot of elbow grease…….
