Short answer yes. Nothing decided yet. Tubbs recond his modified exhaust + STD headers = good running bike without reported problems. At this stage I'm considering all options including prices |

It's just gonna rust. Even camcoated it will just rust, only it will take 6 months instead of 2. I have a brand new in box Buell muffler - never been on a bike. Guess what? It's rusting. |

I have a standard 08 Uly exhaust and headers. Can has been recoated by the dealers but both are standard unmodified. I think the Uly exhaust is the same as the ss. |

If they're cam coated etc all they do is rust from the inside. Unless you only do long trips so that the exhaust dries out inside. Exhaust fumes and moisture are a potent mix that will eat through Buell grade steel quite quickly ... |
