Paul Bryant Viking 3-into-1 header, plus Dain's single muffler = beautiful

[Joesmoe]

I had previously installed Dain's muffler, eliminating the cross-over and one pipe.

Yesterday, Paul Bryant's 3-into-1 header showed up in the mail, along with the special clamp that allows to retain the chrome cover.

I did the "12 minute tune".

This morning, I rode the bike to the local shop for annual inspection.

The new sound is just what I was seeking !

Dain's exhaust with the stock header was a bit much.

As another poster noted, the addition of Paul Bryant's header noticeably reduced the bark, leaving the nice "I am 2300 cc's -- notice me" sound.

Thank you both ! @Paul Bryant @Dain

Very nice, I'd love to hear it.

I invite you to visit our nation's great capital, and see some of what is in store there -- most of it free, and while here, swing by.

Short of that, as I've mentioned here before, there are a number of experiences in life just not captured with ordinary video, short of a LUCAS/Spielberg theater setup to both record and play back.

Looks pretty awesome Paul.

Let me get this right... the Viking header is quieter with Dain's muffler than the stocker manifold?

 

[Joesmoe]

Correct. And I'm not the only one to notice that.

 

[WyldCFH]

Ok, so to add others into the mix here...

Is the Viking header quieter with all mufflers than the stock manifold or is it just weird Viking/Dain combo that does it?

I like the look of the Viking header with that Rinehart muffler that is posted occasionally, but I don't want to "limit" the sound output.

Very, very nice Paul, all you need now is a carpenter package and you win the most accessorized rocket on this blog!!! Maybe on the planet!!! All kidding aside I'm jealous!!

 

[Joesmoe]

Thank you !

In a different time -- in a different life -- I would have been a Carpenter or TTS or Lush customer.

Alas, the best I can do now is enjoy all the wonderful Rockets and their Captains vicariously, and on the road, enjoy my de-restricted Touring, which does quite well for itself, thank you.

Looks great!
