USe the stock 12 header Yes

In other words Use their Can and the Stock 12 Header...

You may want to go another route instead of this setup...

I've got that exact same one on my xb12 and haven't had any problems after about 10K miles. It is pretty loud, after all it's a straight pipe. No mounts for the chin fairing. The headers connect with springs so there's nothing to crack or break.....

As duff said the new version uses springs and Is a bit better than the tuber version and the old version for the xbs

Too loud, too thin of metal, too much money.

After one blowing the o2 sensor out(took 1/2 of pipe around the bung) I will never use their products.

Even with earplugs my ears hurt from a 5 min. ride.
