Default Audio friendly 2 into 1 exhaust?

I know this seems like a strange place to post this question, but I figured who better to ask what exhaust works without drowning out your tunes.

Looking for a performance 2 into 1 that's not too loud.
Any of you guys running a 2 into 1 D and D fat cat with the quiet baffle? Or what else have you found?

Most performance guys don't usually care about tunes, but I am into performance, but also love my tunes. Just getting ready for new exhaust and want best 2 into 1 for performance that will still be liveable when rolling down the highway on the Ultra Classic.
Already have the Soundstream PN 1000.4 going in to run my Infinity Kappas in the batwing and some pioneers in the rear pods and lowers, and I am hoping to find a pipe that wont drown everything out at cruising speed.

Thanks
Rock on and play it LOUD!!!

The Road & Track from Fuel Moto is surprisingly mellow at highway speeds.

I run a E Series 2/1 from Fuel Moto. Mellows nice at speed but still makes good power.

Cool, never even thought of the Fuel Moto, I will have to check it out.

I just talked to a guy that figured the Fat Cat would be way too loud, even with the quiet baffle.
Was also considering the Supertrapp.

Supertrapp and E Series are very similar. Here’s a sound clip of mine.

Dragos has plenty of bark when you get on it but really mellows nicely at cruising speed. Can hear tunes from 2 speaker setup no problem.

FWIW the D&D really isn't that loud. It's more of a drone at cruising speeds than the Dragos, but can still easily hear over it.

Not to sure I agree with that. But I haven't used any other 2-1. When I am cruising at 3K on the RPM, I have the tunes cranked.

From my experience with the R&T it's very mellow at cruising compared to the ones mentioned. Stock versus cammed engines will differ in sound as well tho.
Besides....you're supposed to have your tunes cranked!!!!!

Well yes, I do have a 110 with 10.5:1 in it. and that thing barks when I get on it. I can't speak for any other 2-1 though.
