No... they make them to fit the old tubers. | ||

I don't see why you couldn't. You'd have to make the mounts for it. I plan on making a Thunderheader exhaust as soon as I get a donor. Yea it might be loud but its worth a try and the outer cone I plan on running duel outlets from. Should be quieter that way. We Shall See. | ||

wantxbr i was planning on doing the same thing. i was given a sportster thunder header as my doner. i was debating on making it duel or offset the outlet to one side. | ||

Oh you bastard...lol Man I wanted to be the first to do it but oh well. I was going to cut off the collector at the weld, Then weld a ninety degree bend on it that will fit the header pipe. Then add two outlets to the external cone while leaving the cone open in the back except for the top of the cone which will get welded shut so no exhaust can burn wiring or the cable that exist on 12s. Mounting I havn't got to yet but was just going to weld brackets on the resemble the stock muffler so I could mount it in the same location. If you do it put up some picks so I can see and let me know how it sounds. I.ve eager to try this. | ||

I have a thunderheader already done, but made a tip for the end. I bought my bike with it on already, I had installed a force megaphone on the stock header and worked fine. Just installed a Beson and WOW I love it, taking it off till I get my race motor done | ||

Wantxbr - careful about welding shut any of the outer cone. That reverse megaphone with the gap around the back edge is what makes a Thunderheader a Thunderheader. To be honest, because of how exhaust pulses work, you'll probably get more ambient air coming through that gap than exhaust. | ||

Thanks for the info Xl1200r. | ||

be careful with the V+H, ask Wykedflesh. Lucas, you got pictures of the megaphone setup? | ||
| Lucas70374 |
Daves Ill take some, I going to talk to the guy that help make the pipe. My bike was for a friend that past away, so I dont know much about it. | ||
| Lucas70374 |
Ok Dave, its coming back to me now that I talk to the guy that help make the pipe. We got the pipe with Rich Products, They sent us just the Megaphone(without the cone) Since we was not buying a system. So it looks kind of like a Force but they welded a turnout on it. Will take pictures once I take the Beson off and put this back on |
