Default opinions- thunderheader vs bub 7

Hey everybody I really need some help right now. About to upgrade my exhaust on my 04 fxd and I'm a little torn. I've always wanted a thunderheader but bikerhaven has too good of a price on the bub 2-1. If I got the bub would I be satisfied with the power and sound or should I stick it out and save the extra bucks for a thunderheader. Opinions would be much appreciated.

I vote for T-header, I also wanted one for a long time since I heard it, but the Bubs sound nice too, the harley sound I think. If thier a good price, sometimes there are discounts or ebay thunderheaders if you want to wait.

I'm real fond of the Thunderheader, it runs good on mine-bub 7 is a nice looking pipe but I don't have experience with it, I do love my TH

I had White Brothers 2-1/4" Porker Pipes, and although they were loud and sounded good, I didn't realize how much low to mid range power I was losing until I switched to the Thunderheader. If you don't just want loud noise or a cheap price, save up your money til you can afford the T-Header, you will not regret it.

a lot of the exhaust systems being sold for very low prices are seconds. i would buy from a reputable vendor and get what you really want. thunderheader is a really good exhaust system and its hard to beat.

I went for the Bub 7 2 into 1 and no regrets. Looks, sounds good. Dynoed 104 torque, 94 HP with just 211 cams and big bore. No head work or anything else. Great low to mid range power.

For all major life decisions, such as a new exhaust, I always flip a quarter.
