These are aftermarket ...rinehart true dual exhaust system..its about $1200 system....im not looking to replace the kit yet...granted i bought this 2nd hand so im willing to work with it for awhile and since I have a bagger I like the exhaust coming out under the bags vs swept headers off the side of the engine

Never heard of them but thats ok for me. I've been riding sportbikes for 35 years. Fingers crossed for ya on the weld job.

Yea rinehart is strictly a harley thing i believe.. but here's the outcome....the welder at work does as he wants and can be hard to deal with so I just rolled with it
