I'm getting ready to change the headpipe on my 2013 Street Glide. I've already put RC Components 4.5" pipes on it along with an S&S Stealth air cleaner and a Power Vision tuner. Other than that, the motor is stock. I've been looking at the Cobra Powerport, Fullsac DX, and Fuel Moto. I don't mind it being louder. My main goal is getting rid of that right side heat. Would the extra $100 or so be worth it over the Cobra pipe for one of the others?

 

I have had several on my bikes,
Flat out the FullSac and stay away from FuelMoto which is what I currently have.

 

All are good choices. Might consider the s&s headpipe as well - pretty much identical to the cobra.

 

I have the cobra head pipe. Great sound and great finish. Like it much better that the V&H I had before

 

Magnaflow, S&S or Cobra, in that order is what I would use to mate to your RC mufflers...

 

Grab a de-catted stock header off ebay for about $110...

 

I've had less than satisfactory results with Fusac: fitment and early cracking at welds.
Went the decatted route with muffs and headers on both 2:1:2s and 2:1s OEMs, less than fully satisfired, both tuning and sound, but that's just my experience.


Excellent results with Kuryakyn headers and crusher mellow.
Excellent results with Dragos excellent fit and easy tuning with PV.
Excellent results with D&D, but were too loud for me-resulted in some hearing loss over time (actually probably wind noise from hours at speed).
With Cobra muffs, I'd lean to the cobra head pipes for the complement, but that's just me.

 

Rob, we offer a few different styles of pipes in both chrome and black finishes to fit most owners preferences. You may like the look of the Pro-Duals (part#7210606/#7210605) with tuned-length runners, which have been one of our most popular systems for Touring bikes!
