    Okay... one last try and see.....
    got an 02 wide glide..... has the thunderheader been updated/improved when it comes to the vibration the bike (may)pick up at higher speeds from the difference in length and weight compared to the factory pipes. It is down to a thunder or the V&H 2-1 classics. gott getem order from here soon.

    I have a 00 Heritage and haven't see a crack or any issues with the Thunderheader, can't say about the dyna but the stuff I have has held up to some serious hp abuse LOL

    The T-Hdr bracket will still crack on the rubber mounts. They have beefed up the bracket a lot in the past year or so and breakage is way down. All that weight hanging off the back sure alters the vibe frequency.

    thunderheader

    I've had 2 t-headers. One on my '98 Dyna and the other on my 03 fatboy. The Dyna has about 20,000 miles on the thunderheader and no cracks at all. I'd buy another in a heartbeat -- great power all through the powerband and love the sound. By the way -- the Dyna's for sale -- e-mail Harvenator@aol.com
