I'm gonna get the chrome ones, but also looked up the black ceramic ones you have...the pics on the site do show shotgun style header covers, but they do state that the pics use OEM accessory header shields from HD, so you havent been gypped.

Could you post some close ups? Curious coz the website has pics that show a few mm of muffler stcking out from under the shields at the tail end, but dont see that in your pics. Read the installation manual and they show how that tail outta look after a proper install.



Much appreciated!
They are the V&H twin slash 3" slip on's. I paid $335 for them on Denniskirk.com. As far as the few mm's of muffler sticking out, you can slide the black heat shield forward and backward to expose as much as you'd like but I am trying to get rid of the chrome so I slid my heat shields back to cover the chrome lip.

The internal combustion is basically an air pump. Just because you open up the back side of the pump, there won't be any increase in performance until you take the sock out of the mouth, and adjust the fuel delivery system to compensate for the additional air.

Makes since to me. I was probably just overly excited to have some sound. A new A/C and X14iED's are pretty close to the top of my list. I'm not looking for much more than stage 1 in the long run.
