Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade to a full system on my 2012 street bob. Up until now I have been running cobra slip-ons (baffles removed) with big city thunder quiet baffles in the head pipes. Tune consists of a stage one download, high flow air cleaner and Xieds. Bike runs well and has a solid, but not obnoxious exhaust note.

I have long thought I would just throw on vance and hines big shots, but the look of the 2:1 systems has got me thinking I might go that route. They seem to be a little more unique, and of course have power gains.

The two I have been eyeing are the D&D fatcat and the supertrapp supermeg (or kerker- is there a difference/ advantage other than the tuneable discs in the supermeg?)

Anyone have a preference between the two, or any other recommendations?
Can anyone give me any video links or describe the sound of the two? I don't want anything that is extremely loud.
Point me in the right direction, and much thanks in advance!

 

I chose the Vance and Hines ProPipe Chrome. Mainly due to the aesthetics. I enjoy the large, shiny, chrome pipe and the quality is supreme. This pipe is not overly loud at all. In fact, it sounds only slightly louder than my Python Mamba slip-ons. Open up the throttle and there is a nice bark. I enjoy this pipe greatly.

I'm a big fan of that D&D fatcat.
I would also check out Thunderheader, and Bassani Road Rage.

 

I run the Kerker and really like it. It is baffled like a sport bike there is nothing hindering the flow of exhaust out of the pipe the sound is absorbed into packing that lines the collector. It can be as loud as you make it.

 

I knew the V&H 2:1 Big Radius were for me when i saw them and now that they're on, i love them even more. The SB is a whole new monster with them and i'm sure that can be said for any quality pipes, but i think the Bid Radius look the meanest

 

Here's a better one. Quality is excellent, sounds absolutely awesome, still loud but very deep and throaty. I like the look too and I'm not a huge fan of 2-1's. Best thing - it's only $399!!

Also, it has top dyno results with good power at all RPM.

 

I called Patriot about that pipe on my '12.
They said I would have to loosen, and drop down the pipes to check the oil.
The oil fill/dipstick is lower than the one in the picture, '06 ?

 

D and D bobcat is what I went with. the sound is great, not loud unless you want to be. The fit and finish is second to none. Best of all not your common everyday exhaust. That being said any d and d product is probably top notch. Although the lsr 1 by rb racing was almost ordered until I went d and d . Good luck
