    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You'll have to define 'best'. There's Yoshi, Harris, V&H, Marshall, Harris, Motad..... - and my favourite (on looks and sound) Marving.
 
Well, what i have right now is 4-2. I want to convert it to a 4-1. Are there any bikes i can pull it from? Do I have to peice it together? what is the best way to do this and with what parts?

as for the definition of best...looks and performance and of course sound :)

The search function will turn up lots of info since this topic comes up all the time. Short answer: Vance and Hines is the best commonly available header still available here in the US. Mac also makes a system but it's not as well received by members here.
 
that pretty much sums it up... V&H and then MAC

all the others will be really rare and pretty pricey.
 
You can't go wrong with a Vance & Hines. The chrome is high quality. When they designed them they actually tested different diameter head-pipes for the different size engines to get it "right". Some of the cheaper companies use the same system for bikes from 750 to 1100cc. V & H usually they come with basic jetting instructions. I have several and have no complaints. Dar
 
i have used V&H on both my bikes and its been great for both of them. great sounding exhaust and they seem to hold up very well.
