Are curvy headers different to pointy?

Hi I'm new here and this is my first post.

Bought my curvy SV a couple of weeks back and love it! However it must be louder so I've been looking a various exhausts and reckon the best bet is a second hand full system.

I'm assuming curvy and pointy headers are different?

Cheers

I have a curvy myself but I've heard the ointy has a different front header to miss the oil cooler radiator.
Hope that helps

Just change the can you dont need to change the headers to make it louder i had a CCC can baffleless and it sounded mint, if you do want to change the whole system be prepared to pay for it as its not a cheap option

Thanks

My major reason for wanting a full system was to avoid cutting the stock pipe. I understand you have to do that with all slip-ons. Cops round here are really hot on rectification notices and if I've chopped the standard system I'd have nothing to put back on if I got pulled. Suppose I could buy a reconnection sleeve in advance just in case.

While I'm on the subject. Where do you cut the stock pipe? I've heard it's 2" from the weld. That right?

Cheers

plus it will almost certainly need re-jetting unless you want to bugger your engine...

If it is just noise you are after then a slip on is the way to go, there are no power gains just the lovely V-twin rumble! Must slip on cans come with a reconnecting sleeve so you will have no problems when returning to OEM specification. If not then you can buy then individually from Fuel exhausts.

As for a full system, well not all need rejetting but a good system will! The Pointy and Curvy headers are different, not only the front header but also where the two headers connect as the layout under the Curvy is different to the Pointy. If you are going down the full system set up then you will need the model specific system. If you are only looking for noise then any of the system will do, but a slip on will give you the same results at a cheaper price.

You don't need the standard can at all, just get a can with a removeable baffle.
