I love my TBR. If I hadn't got it I would have got a Thunderheader for sure.

Obviously this is all personal preference though.

 

called Hacker, because they look hacked?

 

not hardly!

 

I visited the link. They reckon they make the best Street performance exhaust for Harleys. First thing you see is a dyno graph with a torque line with two big troughs low down which is peaky later on. Not a good advertisement there

 

I'm not trying to start an argument but that drop could be multiple things. They didn't say anything about a tune or re jet after the pipes and they said it was an open air box. Based on peak numbers, yes they work.

 

D&D fatcat

 

First thing I noticed also...

 

Thunderheader # !
Bassani road rage # 2

 

No argument here either, just stating an observation.

A good street exhaust will allow strong torque at revs where people ride in the street, not dip like that dyno chart at the top of their Web site.

You're right it could be a number of things causing that but pretty poor advertising and representation of their product in any event.

Wanna sell a product, show it shining. If wanting to show the exhaust has good peak performance, don't claim it's the best Street performance exhaust

 

Another +1 for the FatCat. Although I still wish I had opted for the perforated wrapped baffle.
