Default Sound of Thunder Header exhaust

Does anyone know if Thunder Headers slipon's get louder as time goes on, or just changes to a deeper sound? I've heard V&H's will actually change their sound to a deeper,better sound.

vharrig-spirit 54 is talkig about a 2 into 1 Theader system and I think you're thinking of a pair of Theader slip-ons to go on your stock headers....big difference, IMO. I think 2 into 1 is a much better running and sounding setup thsn the slip-ons. The sklip-ons that I've heard sounded shitty (plus way too effin loud) compared to the 2 into 1's that I run sometimes on my FLHT. Again...just my $.02'

For slip-ons, get those Wild Pigs off ebay. They're a fraction of the cost and you'll be happy. Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in Wild Pigs , just thought spending $150 was a better deal than $500, or more.

I have 2-1 Thunderheader and my dad has Thunderheader slip-ons both RoadKings and both have same Cams, Both bikes sitting at idel sound the same. You can not tell the difference, until you wack on the Throttle and then my dad's is alot louder, yes the Slip-ons are louder, and yes I'm jelous. But mine is alot quiker

Default True Duals

I had Thunderheader true duals on my 04 electra glide classic and loved them ,nice deep tone at idle or mild exceleration but when you jump on it she was loud. I also had a 2 into 1 Thunderheader on my 98 Fatboy sounded good but it blued up thanks to a crappy wanna be Harley mechanic who thought he knew how to tune a bike. My advice is get what ever sounds best to you.

I have a set (slip on) I just pulled off my 2000 Road King (Wife wanted quite pipes). Right away I could feel the torque loss hate to see them go. I love the sound of them. When you want to be heard they get the job done for sure.

Selling them for $300. They are in great shape have photos on and off the bike. In box ready to ship. PayPal or cc are fine.

Shawn at sampsonracing.com or 805 896 two two 07

Cheers, shawn
