You're not gonna notice the difference between any of them with just an intake and canned tune. One might give you tick or two more of HP and torque, but only a dyno will see that. Get the one you think looks the best to you.

The 2 into 1 will definitely give you more hp but it looks like you already know that! On my other bike "Yamaha Warrior" I was a big fan of the V&H.

D&D has been proven best for power. Bassani is right behind it, V&H.. meh

If you are talking about a V&H big radius 2 into 1, it don't make a good torque curve, the V&H 2 into 1 Pro Pipe is a good exhaust and proven performer.
The D&D Fatcats makes a good torque curve, the low cats and Bob cats usually have a pretty good torque dip between 2000 and 2700 rpm but do ok in higher rpms. The torque dip can be felt, I switched from a low cat to a Rush Wrath on the same engine and the butt dyno could feel the difference at cruising speeds and WOT. The dyno sheet showed the difference too.
No experience with the Bassani 2 into 1.

Basically, the longer pipes make more power (torque) and that's what you feel when you twist the throttle, especially on a stage 1 or 2 bike.

Have you tried or anyone know of the Thunder Torque Inserts from dk customs, dyno sheet numbers look insane?

I was referring to the three pipes you listed, you won't notice the difference. No mention of a 2-2 pipe.

You're not going to see that much performance difference between those pipes. Go for the set that looks good on your scoot along with the rumble you're looking for.
