I have a 107ci VH big shot 2-2, mid range is great, don't really need a 2-1.

Not sure if they make a difference. I know that mine sounds better with the 2 into 1. Than when I had the V&H slip ons. Won't say about the power, as when I put them on I added TTS at the same time.

You're not trying to build a drag bike like the OP is though.

2 into 1's rock!

I had V&H duals on my bike when I bought it and hated them....Hated the way they sounded and the way the bike ran with them....



Took the V&H pipes off and put on a 2-1 that I had laying around.....








It was nice but I want to use it on my FXR.....So I traded the V&H pipes for a Thunderheader.....It works well.







I would never run anything but a 2-1 pipe on a Harley.

Default 2 Into 1 Pipes

It has been my experience that 2 into 1 pipes make more low end torque than any 2-2 pipe. Each pipe helps scavenge the exhaust out of the other. I also don't like the equal length head pipes. That is why I went from a pipe with equal length runners to a RB racing LSR.

I like this pipe much better than the previous one.

Just installed a Bassani Road Rage 2-1 short exhaust this weekend. Part # 13122J, I'm very happy with the sound & looks.

I used to run a set of V&H big radius pipes on my WG with a 107" Muscle kit from Zippers Performance and was pulling 98 hp & 105 tq. I knew that this exhaust set-up was killing the performance of the build so I purchased a D&D Fatcat and had it re-tuned on the same dyno by the same wrench and got it up to where it should be @114 hp and 117 tq. So you tell me, does a 2 into 1 really make that much difference????

I've written threads on this before, but on my previous bike (FXDC), I had Wood 222 cams installed, then tuned on the dyno with my 2-2 setup....the numbers were disappointing. Builder talked me into installing a D&D Fatcat, so I did, and he tuned the bike again on the dyno. The 2-1 was worth about 10hp/10tq, and totally changed the curves.
On my current bike, I'm running Wood 5-6 cams & a D&D Bobcat...love the setup & performance.
A good 2-1 pipe makes night & day difference if you're after performance, even without other mods. Although the gains from a 2-1 pipe will become even more evident if you do other mods such as cams, heads, etc.
The key is though....you have to have a good tune when switching to a 2-1!

My lowrider build is way different then my sg will be and im taking notice of weight on anything i do to the bike. Looked at v&h comp short 2into1 but im sure that is going to be crazy loud but i know it less weight then the propipe. Magnaflows 2into1 are appealing aswell.

Really just want to make my mind up on a pipe so i can plan my build. I will say that alot of the 2into1's i dont like based on how the rear cylinder pipe runs forward and then back. "Like factory pipe". Really dislike that design. See more dual style pipes that i like so thats the reason for this post. If a 2into1 makes all around better hp and tq then ill have to live it i guess.




Nice clear shot of anyone thinking about rb-racing, lsr...14, fxdl
