Swap Meet Score

My son and I were cruising the "Swaparama" in Tulare Ca today, and I ran across this at the very first booth I stopped at. A nearly new condition stainless header for the 240 300.
I brought it home. I just have to decide if I'm gonna use it, or sell it on to someone else. I already have a pair of new EFI dual exhaust manifolds for my project, and it ain't gonna be no racer, so I'm inclined to stick with those.
I'm assuming they are Hedman. I don't see a SS hedman offered. These are definitely not ceramic coated.

Anyone need 'em?

Honestly, I want em. Can't afford em, so I won't waste your time. Waiting for a quote back from the shop in Reno where my pickup is with a bad transmission.

There are a couple things I'm looking for that I'd be willing to trade for.
Either an Off or Clifford intake
Or, a straight front grill, 65 or 66

If those are indeed them, it's good to note that they're RWD only. Probably interfere with the TTB axle on 4x4 models.

The site also says illegal in California! Well, that's not good!

I may shine up and run 'em anyway just because.

Isn't that pretty much everything?

Pretty much anymore. Anything exhaust related, unless it's "U-Fab" materials, just won't be shipped here these days. I can't buy a different exhaust for either one of my motorcycles, a 2006 HD Softail Deluxe, and a '14 Triumph Bonneville. Not that I want to, although the Harley is just a little loud my taste. The Triumph is just fine.

As for the truck, I will custom fab an "Out the back" system from bends and straight tube.
I have three options....
A) Two pipes into two mufflers or a "two-in, two-out" muffler
B) Two pipes into a "two-in, one-out" muffler
C) Two into one collector, and a single "one-in, one out" muffler
I want a nice tone, not loud, but enough to know it's there. I don't want it to sound like an old school bus, tractor or UPS truck

I am planning a vehicle build with a two-in-two-out muffler, just because I like the look of two exhaust pipes.




I see HD is making a (silent) E-bike now. Good for us old codgers tired of the noise.

I like the look of "Twice Pipes" too. I like the sound of a 6 with split manifolds, I just don't want it to be too loud. I wanna be able to hear my radio!
I'm gonna stick with the EFI exhaust manifolds I already have. They are de-burred, and fitted to the head already. I really don't want the potential maintenance of headers, even tho this is a really purty set!

************

That HD E bike is pretty dang cool. But not 30K cool!
I'd just like to find a muffler that is a bit quieter than the glass-pack that's on there now. I don't wanna spend $800 on another exhaust system either. I have a stock take-off system from an earlier model that has the cross over pipe, But I don't like the way that looks. And since it's really hard to find someone who will ship one of those $800 exhaust systems into California, I may have to fab something up.
