New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 6 Jul 2023 06:37 Last Saturday we stopped by Wade's and gave him the deposits for 15 headers. 11 have been ordered by members here, and Duc2V4 will have 4 more sets for sale, so if anyone hears of someone who might be interested in…

  4. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 15 Mar 2022 04:37 32 minutes ago, Ziffer Shouldn't there be an official list with phone numbers/email addresses? I stop in here once in a while to see what the status is and I always see someone posting interest in another run. I missed…
  5. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 13 Dec 2021 05:53 CornPoweredV4, 12/7/2021 at 1:02 PM I know I'm late to the party, but I'm also interested in a set of pipes for my 6th gen 2007.

New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 18 Nov 2021 06:59 24 minutes ago, Skids That's very kind of you m8 but i suspect the export /import and transportation charges would make it unfeasible. Oy! I completely neglected to check your geographic location! Happy hunting on your…
  8. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 18 Nov 2021 05:33 Skids, 11/15/2021 at 10:06 PM That's 6 x $ signs! 😬 Even with 6 x $ you’d have a hard time finding someone who’s installed these headers with the listed items and a good tune who wouldn’t do it all again...I’m getting…

I have a 2001…

Best to pre-heat pipe with oxy-acetylene torch before expanding... about 450-500C. In between…

  14. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 7 Sep 2021 16:26 28 minutes ago, Cogswell Here's a shot of the MTB installation instructions.

  16. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 28 Aug 2021 15:21 The only difference between the 5 gen headers and the 6 gen headers is the 6 gens have 5/8” cut off their collector exit pipe to allow the complex 6 gen midpipe/dual muffler assembly to fit. Having just installed a set…
  17. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 25 Aug 2021 02:08 8 minutes ago, Cogswell Read the thread - self explanatory. (Laughing) You probably only need to read the first 6 or 8 pages to get the gist.

  22. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 Jun 2021 14:43 8 hours ago, ShipFixer Another quick question while I'm thinking about it - which O2 sensor goes in which hole? The electrical diagram in the service manual shows that from the harness to the natural color O2 sensor…
  23. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 31 Oct 2020 20:55 dudutzu, 10/30/2020 at 9:50 AM Are the 8th gen different than the 5th or 6th gen?

  25. Full exhaust system 23 Oct 2020 02:20 2 hours ago, Badger1 Plenty of power for two up riding, but A LOT of smacks on the helmet to slow down I hear ya - the faster you go two-up, the more visceral the helmet bumping becomes...
  26. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 21 Oct 2020 18:09 8 hours ago, lplplplp sounds like a good idea. but sounds like someone would have to pony up for the extra sets???

  30. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 14 Sep 2020 15:26 3 hours ago, lplplplp I assume you can actually edit the maps though?? So officially these are the "WiLD" headers.? This leads me to another question and that is why does the 6th gen have less power than the 5th gen? is…
  31. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 13 Sep 2020 16:12 7 hours ago, lplplplp (6th gen): has anybody done any tuning with the rapid bike race and these headers?

  39. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 15 Jun 2020 03:16 Ughandi, 6/12/2020 at 7:39 AM It would be really cool if we can get WiLD or VFRD stamped into the headers from you guys.
