The header and the heat shield are made of steel for " a massive performance-boosting 50 % reduction in weight " compared to Indian ' s stock system for the Chief . The 2.5 " OD " is made to fit our precisionmachined , interchangeable aluminum end caps - including our straight or slash tips - all of which come in a variety of finishes , including sculpted black , chrome , pitch black , sculpted gold and solid gold ."
Described by Martin as " sleek , smooth and sharp ," quiet mufflers are also available as an option if desired . Additional features include 12 mm and 18 mm ports and plugs , as well as complete mounting hardware and brackets . Pipes come in chrome or ceramic black . The system fits with rear pegs , so relocator brackets are not needed , and the installation process is said to be fairly simple .
