Default Thunder Header

Who's running thunder headers and what kind of fuel mileage are you getting? (what carb too)

Just curious...

What makes you think an exhaust is going to screw with your mileage?

I am. No idea on my fuel mileage as it is a motorcycle and I don't care. If I had to guess maybe 35 on my v111 and 40 on my Twincam Dyna. Both with built motors

FWIW, I had thunderheaders on my bike running a Wood CV40 and was getting in the low-mid 40's. Swapped them to Supertrapps and Hp stayed the same and dropped the Tq a few points to be quieter. Mileage did seem to go up a little to hig 40's - low 50's mostly on backroads.

Thanks guys,

I do like the way they sound and would love to have one cut open to see exactly how the baffle is made. But for the money of even a beat up used one, that ain't happening...

I'm also thinking about a thunderheader for my evo heritage, because I can't give a decent set of performance slip on mufflers to fit.... Don't know if I can justify the cost though.

I just got a Thunderheader on my 1991 FXR. Well worth the cash. Sounds way better than previous exhaust and seems to perform better as well. I got the bracket from Ramjet Racing as well.

Not many, except Custom Made, will outperform a Thunderheader..
I would like to see a picture of the "new" rear mounting system, as that was a bad design early on for the FXR
