Thanks!
The Thunderheader is great. There's only so much you can do with the stock motor and AC/EFI/exhaust, though. I'm pretty sure I'm doing a 103 build over the winter, and then it will really have a chance to shine.
The sound is fantastic - it really roars, but not harsh. Lots of low-end rumble. Very pleased with that.
I have NONE of the much-wailed-about TH torque hole. My torque curve is is pretty damn flat all the way up.
I do have some decel popping - going to tweak the baffle and try to get that out. Hopefully I won't put a hole in the torque.
My only bitch is the lack of heat shield right next to my boot. I have big feet and it's hard for me to not bump the pipe sometime during a ride. Cleaning it is getting old.

To hell with it am going to get the snow mobile ready, one in one out. Ride safe those who happen to get lucky and warm 365days.
