I just started looking, my time comes in short blocks, I'll call them when I've kinda made up my mind.

It's plenty broke....I was thinking stainless. Ceramic is a bit too pricey, I'd rather spend the extra money on something that will get seen...I ride Harley's and like bling :D

Looking at that also, got it breathing better with the cold air intake so I gotta get it farting better. You don't think the header would make a decent difference? I keep reading about increased torque with the header and figger the exhaust will help out even more.

ceramic headers are not just for looking good they will keep the heat inside the header and out of the engine bay also you should use header wrap to keep under hood temps down

locking bolts; I use Stage 8 (brand) of bolts for my headers.  They have locks on them to prevent them from backing out.  Check them out at summitracing.com.  Or you can drill a small hole through the bolt head and use lock-wire (WAY more work and requires special lockwire pliers).
