Status: offline 		well if you get the polished or the hard anodized they come in a kit, comes with header, pipe, springs, gaskets,. Or if you do like i did i got the black pipe ( which is stock lst2 pipe). And then i got a black header which comes with sprngs and the gaskets needed (which is also a stock lst2 header). And it's all drop in to the aftershock just bolt it up and go. As far as prices, the black pipe and header go for around 55$, and the polished or the anodized go for around 65-70$. All with the same performance.

Status: offline 		yeah sounds prety simple but will the header really make that much of a difference?

Status: offline 		well no not really but it's not suppose to, the stock pipe has a rubber coupler to connect it the pipe and the header, and the HT pipe has a flange and the lst2 header has a flange and a exhaust gasket between the two flanges with three small springs holding it all together. Now with that being said i suppose that you could get just the pipe and grind off the flange on the HT pipe but i think the spring mount pipe system is a lot better than the stock rubber coupler.

Status: offline 		ok so basicly getting the header will just make things allot easyer. you got any expirience with other pipes. i've been looking at the buku system but its pretty expensive i might think about it if i start hearing great things about it.

Status: offline 		Yeah the lst2 header will make things alot simpler . With the buku i've heard good things about it, but yeah 110$ is kinda up there for a pipe, but it could be worth it, I wish i had one and i would tell you.

Status: offline 		hmm i was just thinking to mount the buku pipe i would probly need a better header right? and on the buku site it says it come with 4 little springs that means im gonna have trouble mounting it in the LST2 header wich is 3 springs right? thats if i deside to spend that much money wich is a little more than i had planned. i think it might be worth it tho.

Status: offline 		well the lst2 header has a lot of holes in the flang for different spring configurations i dont remember but it's well over five or six holes in the flange so i should work. Or you can make it work .

Status: offline 		I have a Buku on my LST1 and it is incredible. I now have great power throughout the entire power band. I just bought an aftershock for my ol lady and as soon as it is broken in I will buy another one. If you get one read the instructions and read them again. It does add another tuning element so make sure that you are a good tuner.

Status: offline 		Oh yeah it hooked up easily, don't worry about the springs. I do reccomend you buy new gaskets in case you rip one of them
