Thunder Header VS Fab 28 (Sound Clips) Harley Davidson FXR

[@gregortloff1457]

I’m TRULY a Thunderheader devoted customer. I’ve tried numerous exhausts and the “go to” for sound and most importantly performance. Hands down there isn’t a exhaust that performs like the Thunderheader. Until someone can prove it wrong with “FACTS”, dyno sheets and the like. RedThunder exhaust is the only one that comes close….but no cigar!!

[@freebirdsgarage]

I agree with you on that. I’d really like to get these bikes on the dyno and see the performance difference.

[@getoffmygrass6974]

I have multiple 2 into 1 exhausts for my stage 4 2002 TC 95" and while Thunderheaders have the best sound, on the same build, my RB LSR 2 into 1 put down 8 more lbs-ft and 9 HP from 2-3k and yes I have Dyno sheets from Rob's Dyno out of Gardner Ma. Keep in mind, early TC softails don't have equal length headers on the TH but RB does.

[@matthewpetras4282]

School thunder header thank you.

[@gregortloff1457]

I have the RB Racing LSR-1 on my 2000 RK (95”TC). Too loud. Quick way to get a ticket here in CA. My buddy has one on his S/S111 - way to loud, like obnoxious loud and I like loud. Thunderheader sound is hands down (for me) the best.

[@gregortloff1457]

My TH on my FXR does have equal length and for the new baggers they’re equal length so that needs to be taken into consideration

[@jerielyork4399]

Thunderheader still my favorite

[@freebirdsgarage]

The sound is hard to match

[@nadahog1569]

the fab 28 sounds really good.... but when it comes to sound as far as engine and pipe combo. absolutely nothing sounds better then an evo and a thunder header. performance is pretty good as well. considering evos arent really happy when you bump the compression and power on stock cases. but man they are a blast to hear WFO. awesome video.

[@freebirdsgarage]

I couldn’t agree more on that . The combo is too classic, WFO 👊🏼

[@NVARider]

Both sound great but I like the sound of the Fab 28 more. Nice deep rumble. Great comparison. 👍😎

[@freebirdsgarage]

It was a fun one to do! I appreciate you watching and the support Mike!

[@benjitower5848]

Thunder header sounds like RocknRoll...😎👍

[@freebirdsgarage]

yes sir!

[@ryans1129]

Thunderheader will always be king.

[@freebirdsgarage]

💪

[@suchmuscles38]

Fab 28 all day. Looks better, sounds better.

[@freebirdsgarage]

👊🤘

[@BigSmittyRiding]

I've always loved the Thunder Header but that Fab 28 exhaust looks and sounds amazing! Great comparison vid Jay!

[@freebirdsgarage]

Fab 28 has a crispy look 🔥 and it was a fun one to do! I appreciate the support👊🏼

[@20Radman07]

Great use of words. Precise imo. I have/had three bikes with thunder headers; after this I would consider a Fab 28. Thanks !

[@freebirdsgarage]

I appreciate that and glad it could help. Thanks for watching!

[@dydlee]

Great video as always Jason. You deserve a lot more views for the amount of effort you put into your videos.

[@freebirdsgarage]

I really appreciate that Dan and thank you for the support! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@josephtizol9695]

I’ve got a 93 EVO with a Thunderheader and an 83 Shovel with an RB Racing pipe the EVO is cammed the Shovel has S&S heads and I think my EVO sounds better. Such a classic sound I believe the TH was originally designed for the 80”

[@freebirdsgarage]

The EVO is that pure Harley sound. I believe your right about the TH I herd it was designed around it too. I appreciate you watching and the support sir!!

[@SwiftyMcVeigh851]

When I was on fb..no longer. I followed fab28. I dig that exhaust.

[@freebirdsgarage]

That was a hot spot to follow most of the big companies too. Thanks for watching!

[@ericv79flh]

Thunderheader for both looks and sound.

[@freebirdsgarage]

👊🏼👊🏼

[@kookertech]

Really like the note on 1st one.

[@freebirdsgarage]

Hard to beat that classic sound 👌🏼

[@ar2043]

I love them both but I think the fab 28 is a much cleaner sound if that makes any sense. Less raspy like you said compared to the thunderheader

[@freebirdsgarage]

I appreciate the feedback!!

[@budgetwheeler4x4]

I have always wanted a FXR I'm getting ready to put my 73 Nova up for sale hopefully I can trade it for one. Nice to see somebody in Michigan getting it done

[@freebirdsgarage]

When you do, If you have any questions let me know! I appreciate the Michigan respect ✊🏼 👊🏼

[@langora5804]

Youll love it. Rode 800 miles this weekend on mine

[@budgetwheeler4x4]

Hell yea I have 2 bikes now

[@budgetwheeler4x4]

I will for sure

[@spudwrencher9262]

I’ll buy that thunderheader

[@freebirdsgarage]

I will let the owner know!

[@spudwrencher9262]

@@freebirdsgarage keep the videos coming man. Love it. Gonna do the same to my 89. You consider doing a cam install video?

[@tankbulldogge8639]

Brother Jason. Nice little video on sound comparison. I've been looking for a new FXR exhaust. I'm running duals. I have always liked the sound of the Thunder Header but just don't like the looks. Your Fab 28 sounds good as well & I like the looks. Back in the day if you ran a 2-1 exhaust on a HD the guys looked at you like you should have bought a Japanese bike. My brother teased me when he seen the belt on my FXR instead of a chain...lol... I like the 2-1 exhaust. Happy Holidays.

[@freebirdsgarage]

Tank! I forgot about that for 2-1 exhaust and chains are back in style now too lol. Check out Power plant they just came out with a Red Thunder Shorty looks pretty rad! Happy Holidays and I appreciate the support!

[@IAmJoeJericho]

Fab 28 has a sweet sound

[@freebirdsgarage]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@matthewpetras4282]

Thunderheader ol school freak anything else!!!

[@freebirdsgarage]

🤘🤘

[@georgegould667]

Fab 28 winner without a doubt !

[@freebirdsgarage]

👊

[@michaelwood875]

Fab 28,,,awesome!

[@freebirdsgarage]

Yes sir!!

[@RidingHumboldtCounty]

I like both of them

[@freebirdsgarage]

Hard to beat that straight up evo sound on any exhaust. Thanks for watching my friend! 👊🏼

[@blues3824]

The video answers my question. What's with the distracting background music?

[@freebirdsgarage]

Lol noted, it’s in place for any silence in the video

[@shawnjoseph7522]

Fab

[@freebirdsgarage]

👊

[@shawnjoseph7522]

what do you prefer?

[@freebirdsgarage]

I love the sound of the thunderheader, but prefer the looks of the Fab28

[@konradfilipiak8393]

but engine of first fxr (with thunderheader) is working not properly - one of cylinders is not working at all.

[@freebirdsgarage]

Interesting, why would you think that?

[@konradfilipiak8393]

@@freebirdsgarage because i can hear it. and you hear it to (consistenly hitting). its not sound like a boxer but like single. this engine does not even have the ability to increase the revs

[@freebirdsgarage]

@@konradfilipiak8393 the first run was a cold start with the choke pulled out.

[@apexaddict302]

That bike was hitting on one cylinder with the TH. Something is off on cold start.

[@BAsed_AFro]

Both sound super pissed off.

[@freebirdsgarage]

Hell yeah 🤘
