when it comes to tuners, those get picked up by the HD diagnostic tool and automatically get flagged back at HD. I’d suggest taking a ride over and speaking to them directly.

Thanks.

Would you call those pipes "shorty" or not?
1955-0 is advertised as good for low end TQ - and that's what I am after.

Why are they not so popular? Price?
Why did you go with one?

It is not a shorty.
I run a smaller baffle than the 1955-0 in my 131" and make 157hp/165tq, you can draw your own conclusions.
The design with anti-reversion chamber makes it expensive, Moonshine Harley uses their own exhaust with this design and they know how to make power.
I ran a Bassani Road Rage III 50th Anniversary exhaust that has a similar design minus the anti-reversion baffle and smaller head pipe and baffle etc. I think the assembly of this Thrashin exhaust is done by Bassani, I liked the Bassani RR3 50th but needed larger for my 131" with 11.5:1 compression. I think the Thrashin explanation of their baffles is aimed more for race bikes than street, I tried two larger baffles, they are big and LOUD.
Here's a pic, I think the 1955 baffle next to a 1-7/8 S&S baffle.

We are in the same boat
But my colleague bought something even more "exotic" - Sawicki exhaust and, apparently, it will not do the job for him...

My conclusion is that I have 122 and you have 131
Now, I would like it to be as effective (TQ) but meaner and louder than, i.e. FM RTX Jackpot. And it could be a Bassani.
I would say, that Bassani had drawn my attention the moment I realized that it is not only the numbers I am chasing - it is look and sound as well.
The thing is that RR 50th Anniv. is not available in black, so out of question.

What's your opinion on Road Rage 2-1?

There are obviously better options out there, but it should be a pretty good base anyway. A good pipe and a proper tune should wake it right up!
I heard the same about the cam.....so realistically throw a pipe on and your already at stage 2......I have my 2022 LRS coming in a week, so I was wondering the truth in it

That's what I am thinking. I did see the 117" cam specs recently, but can't recall where. It's very close though. So a good pipe and a tune by somebody that knows what they are doing should be a proper Stage 2.
