Default Are there any aftermarket headers for wolverine?

I was just wondering if there were any aftermarket pipes for the wolverine. And i don't mean the muffler tip either. i know that the wolverine and the warrior have the same engine and they make them for the warrior, but i've never seen any for the wolverine.

The truth of it is that the only way you can get one of these is from like DG or DMC that has the whole system. The reason that you dont see all the headers for the Wolverine and Warrior is because they already have a very wide header from the factory and there really is no advantage to changing it. That is the reason that you see torque stuffers or torque valves for these machines, this is for light modded bikes and goes in the end of the header and decreases the diameter of the top of the header. What this does is create more of a venturi which is a suction of air, like compressing it so to speak, like making the header smaller in diameter at the top only, it moves the air faster through the exhaust system resulting in a slight horsepower increase. Therefore if you are planning to modifly it then stick with the stock header and leave the torque stuffer off. The reason you want to leave it off when you get into more mods is because hp is relative to the amout of air you can move through an engine, the more air you move through it the more powerful the engine and more hp and torque, and when you add more mods that move more air, you dont need to restrict to make the venturi because the mods will result in more air that will completely use up the whole header. So then if you have that much air going through it, it makes no sense to restirct it further does it? Doing that will bottle neck the airflow and defeat your general purpose. Sorry for the long post i just figured if i told you the whole story you would understand it better. Just let me know if you need anymore help with modifying it.
