Everyone always talks about what exhaust pipe to slip but I can never find any information on a new head pipe. Does anyone have an opinion on one? I see a lot manufactured in the UK. Is there a US company that has a larger diameter head pipe? I had one ceramic coated but the more I thought about it I would rather put one on that will help the bike in HP not just look.

Getting larger than the ports may be of little value, the 12 header is as large or nearly as large as the ports so I don't think you will get a performance gain. Micron used to make an equal length header to go with their muffler, made a decent amount of power too. The only other equal length I've seen is something cut and welded from bent sections of tubing, not something I would put on my cycle unless it was wrapped, really needs to be fewer joints for a smoother inside.
