I got a fxdx dynaglide with a thunder header exhaust too my dad passed it down to me when he died. It’s getting picked up tomorrow to be fixed. It’s been awhile since I had it running and was able to ride. It took a lot of work and hustle for me to obtain the means to fix it and I’m fucking stoked. I miss that sound so bad. Can’t wait to get back on it and feel that freedom again.
When I see that fabric on exhaust pipes, I dont think it's very functional... it doesn't allow for heat to escape the pipes... Could be doing bad things to the heads... dunno... I got screaming eagle pipes on my Tsport, also sound gr8... But looks good man🤙
It’s actually very functional. The entire purpose of header wrap is to keep the heat inside the pipes. This helps keep the exhaust flow velocity higher, which helps the engine to breathe at higher rpm where the headers are most effective. That said, there’s also a bad drawback to header wrap. Depending on the particular material that they are made of, they tend to absorb moisture and hold it against the header when cold, leading to rust forming faster. I used it on an old Honda I had and the new pipes rusted out in about 3 years. Since then, I’ve only used it on my drag bike and a car that I race regularly that I experiment with header design on. I don’t see much benefit to using it on a street ridden bike except maybe for the look and that is a personal perspective thing. Honestly, some form of ceramic coating will do the same thing for heat retention and would be a better idea since the pipes will last far longer. It is a bit more expensive though.
Yep , it has that cool THUNDER HEADER sound alright but at a cost of $1750 for a chrome header is just too much when you can get a set of 2 into 2 Drag pipes for UNDER a hundred ! And everybody knows how beautiful drag pipes sound . Of course you have to know how to tune your bike for drag pipes .

Has that “love thy neighbor” exhaust note

And a dyna bro is born. Next thing is taco Tuesday and white claws. Just making fun. Bikes sick. Ride it like ya stole it.
This is one of the best sounding bikes on UA-cam! Thanks for reving her up.
Just bought the same bike with same exhaust and was curious how it was going to sound… EPIC! Thanks for sharing!
I prefer these exhaust on any HD engine. Makes them sound like hotrods instead of just loud.
Great looking bike. We just pulled an 01 fxdxt out of a shed and are working to get it back on the road.
Dyna bro up!! Haha just picked an old dyna up myself. Parts are their way.
Sounds great!
That fuckin sounds bad ass.

Well good thing that's a Thunderheader and not a Bassani.
