i purchased a set of heddman headers for my 81 classic, and then had my local speed shop install a custom exhaust from the headers back. it was about 250 for the headers and 700 for the custom exhaust. that is full stainless, and the muffler has a 6 yr warranty not to rust etc... the entire exhaust is above the frame rails.
I took it to the MAR and the exhaust performed awsomely, and man does it sound great.
