I have a set of each in good shape. The SS ones are very light compared to the stock ones. They do not have the same sound as the stock ones to me. My understanding is they are the same diameter tubes so no horsepower advantage. I will be using a Dansk banana muffler.

The flanges that bolt to the head are way better on the stock HE's. There's probably twice the sealing surface, and they fit the exhaust ports better.
That said, I've never really had a problem with the SSI's, but I have seen a few with the mounting ears pulled off. |
