Which 4-2 exhaust ??

[Sharky]

Putting aside all personal opinions on the vendors, is there any major differences between the various headers ?? :confused2:
Marks, V&H, UFO, Voodoo etc ?? :ummm:

I understand the mufflers play a large part in the final tone (I'll be creating my own supertrapp cans), its just the headers I'm interested in right now...

badgervmax better ratio price vs quality that i know of

Not a vendor war but...I wanted a Marks in stainless and can of my choice adapted so i went with the Muscle hybrid Marks then had them coated. Stainless and fit was super. I did have a few weld splatters but that is what the dremel is for and prior to coating. Very happy with the quality, price, fitment and performance/sound I was looking for. Just my 2 cents

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the major headers. Marks is pretty easy to deal with if you want pipes without cans. Not sure if any of the other major manufacurers would want to spli the system up.

Agreed, The primaries are close enough to the same that you can use whatever makes the most cost effective sense.

Got realistic prices from both voodoo and marks for unpolished, no mufflers.
Marks is about $100 more.
I'm thinking marks as he is a genuine vendor whereas I'm aware of conflict between voodoo and ufo and really don't know who to believe.
Whatya reckon......spend the extra on marks ?

Here's a pretty good video of the Voodoo 4 into 1 with a Supertrapp can:

And the 4-2 with Slash-cuts:

What is mark asking for just the pipes ?
Ebay has the Voodoo 4 into 2 with slash-cuts listed at $550:

If you sold those 2 slash-cut cans for even $150-200 that seems like a good deal.

You'd have to talk to someone that actually has the Voodoo pipes to see what the quality is like though.

 

[Sharky]

Yeah I saw those mate but it bumps up the price to pay upfront and its tight enough as is...

Marks is $650US for headers, Voodoo is $455.

Shipping is around $120-140.

At Paypal exchange rates to Aussie $ Voodoo comes in around $650 Au, Marks $870.

I've emailed Voodoo and he says his st/st is good quality and 16gauge (1.25mm)

Gotta sell a few more bits on ebay and I'll be ordering the voodoo system.

Ok....final decision made...

Having looked at all options I've decided to build my own. As I've lowered and stretched mine my concern is gtound clearance and fit.
So I've bought the old 4-2 vance and hines off ebay as a pattern.

That my friends , is useful and cost saving information. Shop around for your best deal on headers , pick the best can for your performance / appearance / sound application.

So , based on that , Marks pipes sound comes from the cans , not necessarily from the headers.

Hmm, I think Mark's crossover pipe has a little effect on it's final sound.

Got this in the post today...the Vance and Hines headers off evilbay.
Im thinking as its V&H it should be pretty good. ..
What do our resident experts think ?
I'm going to fit it as is for now but might copy it in st/st further down the track.

I'm running 4>2 Holeshot system on mine. Pricy yes but damn they growl like a blown Chevy.

Love it!! Can't wait to get mine on the bike.

Positracker - quick question...I bought these used, anything I need to know for install?

Thanks

Fit everything up loose Frank. Then tighten all the flanges, then any clamps or springs.

Thanks...will do...

I agree. Love my Holeshot 4-2. They've been on the bike for many years and about 20 miles. They still function, look and sound awesome. Get the jet kit and air filter too.
