I believe a gutted 2010 and later head pipe is the same as a stock 2009 head pipe(?) . Below is from FM's website and if I'm reading this right, at $479.00 for their header (not including shipping), it makes +1.33HP & +4.33TQ more than the stock 09 head pipe. Thats $360.15 per 1HP gain or $110.62 per 1TQ gain! Does this seem right to you, or do I have my #'s all F'd up?
2009 Harley Touring models:
Here is a dyno chart for the 2009 Touring that shows the gains from the Jackpot 2/1/2 head pipe directly compared to the stock head pipe. This test was done on the same bike on the same day. This bike was equipped with Jackpot Dyno tuned mufflers, Stage 1 air cleaner, and Dynojet PC-V

Might as well do the intake the same time and get a tuner from Fuel Moto and that baby will be good to go. I'm gonna hold off until my warranty is up next Fall and probably do the full Stage 1 and some cams to wake up the 103. It runs fine now but close to 100 hp with cams would be fun. My Yamaha Stratoliner was right at 100 hp, it was a blast.

I'm thinkin just gut the stock head pipe (or buy a gutted one off fle-bay), $450-$500 for a header that only delivers +1.33HP & +4.33TQ over a gutted stock! I ain't drinking that Kool Aid!
