Sounds good I just sent a stock header to the muffler shop getting the cat cut off , then planning on getting them ceramic coated . Can't wait to hear & feel the difference.
Still waiting for that flybyI'll get a fly by video later on today so you guys can hear what it sounds like throughout the entire rpm range :naughty:
Getting it today so stay tuned :deviousStill waiting for that flyby![]()
I reused my stock gaskets but they only had maybe 50 miles on them, you should be fine though. I installed them without pulling and plastics off at all, all i did was take out the two plastic push pins in the middle of the bottom plastics so the two sides of the bike "open up" and was able to sneak the stock headers out and the MJS ones in, its tight and kind of frustrating this way but try to have an extra set of hands hold them up for you so you don't lose your gaskets while re-installing the flanges. For some reason the nuts on the stock header flanges were only on there hand tight with no thread locker on it at all which I found pretty odd. I made all the nuts snug but not over tight one I got the MJS header in place. If you do it the way I did it by just splitting the plastics at the bottom, I hope you have small hands because you'll be fighting with the flanges and nuts through the little cut out in the side fairings lol. If you have any more questions or run into any problems during the install shoot me a PM I'll be happy to help you out. :bigthumb:I had a stock header modified by a muffler shop similar to the MJS Header . Iam about to install them myself any day now. Do you have any other tips or advice so I can do it right the first time. Do I need to buy new gaskets or not bike only has about 3707 miles on it.
I'm running a tune through my PCV, running the map for the full two bros from powercommander.com but I have a dyno appointment coming up for a custom dyno tune :naughty:So wait a min, all of you guys running MJS header, has anyone gotten it tuned? You do realize it needs to be tuned as the MJS header is essentially a full exhaust...
I hate to burst your bubble, but there is anything "fancy" about those expensive arrow headers either... They're twice the cost of MJS headers, but you save about 3lbs and gain about 2 more hp.I have MJS Headers myself. Only reason why I did was to get an O2 Sensor Plug welded in. At the time, there weren't any headers that could be purchased separately or I would have went with those for sure. I'll soon make the switch over to some Arrow Headers as these headers are just stock headers without the catalytic convertor. Nothing fancy about them. The headers from MJS are actually people's headers from their bikes as core. Only difference I heard from the Cat (Meow) being removed was the exhaust seemed a tad deeper.
Every bit counts I guess. Ouch. Twice as much...why not just then get a full pipe at that point? Maybe a full M4...not to sure about the Two Brothers one, they seems a bit gilded to me but thats just my two cents. I'm sure it will come out good either way.I hate to burst your bubble, but there is anything "fancy" about those expensive arrow headers either...

+1 to thisI hate to burst your bubble, but there is anything "fancy" about those expensive arrow headers either... They're twice the cost of MJS headers, but you save about 3lbs and gain about 2 more hp.
Good stuff you will be happy after you get it tuned.
+1 to this
I only gained two hp at the peak when switching from MJS to full akrapovic and lost a little in the mid range. Outside of the weight savings there isn't much benefit, in fact if I was riding on the street I would go with the MJS for the little extra grunt down low.

I'm running a PCV and will be getting it Dyno Tuned in a few, I was quoted $295 for the tune.So wait a min, all of you guys running MJS header, has anyone gotten it tuned? You do realize it needs to be tuned as the MJS header is essentially a full exhaust...
Yeeehaaaa!Getting it today so stay tuned :devious
I have SS, there is only 2.5 lbs difference between the SS and evo Ti and both produce the same power. I can't really justify the extra expense, also I think I negated most of the weight difference by changing my can as well.Smokey11 was your full povic Ti or SS?
