Right is Harder than Wrong.
Ok, ok... Little update here on header choices....
A recent thread about header comparisons got me thinking.
Please check it out:

So what header is best for the FJR? The Holeshot? The Muzzy?
Both are great products, but they are both just as heavy as the
stock (all made out of stainless). Two separate reports, here, put the
Holeshots in at 10 and 11 lbs respectfully. The big benefit the Muzzy
and Holeshot has over the stock is that neither have any cats (for off road
racing, of course) restrictions.
So... what about a cat-less stock header (for off road racing, of course)?
DISCLAIMER: I would never condone extra pollution and of course any
type of racing on the streets... All you tree huggers please know that you
have a friend in Wicked Webby and that is why I would not do such a thing.

Just so happens that a friend of mines stock header recently returned from cat surgery...
A stock header (after surgery) weighs only 9lbs!!!
I will post a couple of pics of his weigh in below.
Thus, my vote is still for the lighter stock header, post surgery of course.
BTW, the stock header does have a crossover pipe between cylinders #2/#3 and
already has a bung for an 02 sensor. A 02 bung is very much needed when
using a wide-band 02 sensor to sniff the AFR under load, if your into tuning
your ride. Also, the stock header doesn't have any road clearance issues like
some of the Holeshot headers and Muzzy's have had. The stock header fits all
the popular slip-ons (including the Remus) without any pipe expanding.
Thumbs up to the, post surgery, stock header!!!! Free flowing and cheap!
The weigh in (no header):
Weigh in with the post surgery header:
Stock header cross over pipe between #2/#3:
Scar from the surgery:
Just for your information,
