Im not after big power but FM has said it’s good for up too 160hp, for now I’m wanting my fun too be in the mid-range but should I decide too go with a big bore set up it’s nice knowing the header will support bigger cubes if I have a change of hart.
What I needed to know, thank you.

I'm heavily debating this exhaust vs the HPI or the Fab28. With the cost savings of this exhaust over the other two I can buy a cam too. My 2020 FXLRS currently has the catted S&S exhaust. I just love the look of the raw pipes as they patina.

I know it’s different but my 2:1 E series on my 07 flhtc with the 103HO on it was instantly noticeable on the *** dyno . That Pipe looks good natural and in black on that bike …. Bet it sounds wicked

Whatever.... Personally, the welds give it a charm and look which is appealing.

Those welds look great, shows the craftsmanship of the welder. I'm not too big on the turndown tip though, nor the fact the front headpipe is so much longer than the rear. It was always thought by me that the pipes should be as equal in length as possible to promote best power and scavenging yes? Then again, S&S 2-1 system has a really long rear pipe vs the front. Guess just personal looks and fitment really. I don't forsee my El Diablo being a choke point until possibly a 128 high output build and by that time, I'll prolly go with either a D&D Fatcat or Trask pipe.
