New head pipes yet?

[drlapo]

Are replacement head pipes, without the cat, available for the1200 Thruxton yet?

dont know about the header pipes, but Staintune have just announced after market mufflers for the 1200

I like the stock silencers. they look good and sound good to the rider. I'm not looking for more noise just maybe a "better" sound. I'm not sure if I will change anything but that doesn't stop me from looking.

Free Spirits have a X pipe to replace the CAT.

Thanks
AJ CycIe in N.Y. can get one for $260 shipped
Sounds like a winter project Xmas present to myself

I'll probably get one soon.
I hope it deepens the exhaust tone without making it appreciably louder.
Going to wait for the next credit card billing cycle

If it were me, I'd be hoping for replacement header pipes that lose the spaghetti & faux covers and that run straight to the mufflers like god intended. The X pipe seems like a band aid to me rather than an elegant solution...

Many hot rod cars use X pipes to increase scavenging.
The dunstall system was 2 into 1 into 2
There may be some merit to the application

I wonder how much replacement ss head pipes will cost.
