The facotry race can will last a little longer than the V&H.

In my opinion, though, you wont find much better than the D&D. Great sound, and NEVER needs to be repacked. a little more than the V&H, at about 275, but, its damn near bullet proof.

My 2 cents

Ahhh....
well, you would need the race header as well.. but yes, combo wise, the race header and can will make more power, adn feel much better than the stock header, and the V&H...

if you are running the V&H, most likely stock....

if the collector is in the FRONT, its stock..if the collector is on the side...its a race header...

Personally I did not enjoy my V&H experiences. They broke at about 3500 miles intervals. I've put close to 9000 on a Supertrapp and it hasn't even thought about breaking or cracking or vibrating loose. I would like to find a race pipe and ham can one of these days for the X1.

I use a modified V&H on the factory race header - the factory race muffler is too heavy for its mounting system.

Kevin can do a Drummer for your tuber if you send him a stock can.

I got one for my S3 about 3 weeks ago.

Hey Crash, I love my supertrapp but it is cracking all around the mount at less than 16K. Keep an eye on it.

Cereal,
If I get 16K out of the Supertrapp I will be a happy camper. That would quaduple the amount of use I got out of a V&H.

I currently have 30,000 on my V&H - never had a problem. I still use the stock 2000 front muffler mount, too.
