How much extra kick do you get out of that bass drum with the headers? I have a set of Roland electronic drums. Do you think the headers will fit them? Ha.

Well... considering the V drum serious has a much smaller size bass drum you may need some custom modifications but well worth the time and energy! HAHA!

Keep rockin! \m/!

They look similar to the EM's but the flanges look different and the 02 bungs are on the sides instead of the tops. They look like a sweet setup and it looks like they came with clamps for super easy connection to an exhaust.

Super cool!

I've thought about headers and get this, not for the HP gain, just for the looks.

What can I expect to pay for set of Melroses?

Is this a project I can do myself without much trouble?

Just curious and your input is greatly appreciated.
