Spf or sawicki?
Time for a new pipe, for a 124" torque motor which pipe would you go with and why? Both are stainless, both offer various lengths and step options. Spf looks to have a little more ground clearance but the sawicki seems pretty tight too. I'm torn, what's the best option?

Well I'm saying this on personality alone, but every time I reached out to Tyler at Sawicki to talk about options he was incredible to deal with. But I tend to go by gut with these types of things!

The Sawicki headers look a lot like your Thunderheaders, so if you don't drag them maybe you will be good. Between the 2, I like the the Sawicki choice, I think the longer length will help you keep the hp/tq that you are used to.

i bought one for my lowrider but it did not work well with the newer forward mids. I wasnt really willing to move the brake lever anymore so d and d took it back. I never even started it, but it looked badass.
now i have the stock 2-1 head pipe with the se nightstick slip on. It even still has the cat in it. quite as hell and i know it is robbing power. It was soppuse to be temperary untill i found a good pipe option, but then work slowed down and blah, blah, blah......... just got use to it.

For your 124, since you are not a fan of RB, I would recommend the D&D Borzilla. The other D&D's would just be to small for your beast and hold it back.

No, I had talked with Tyler from Sawicki prior to getting the supermeg. He was able to adjust volume of pipe with steel wool and I was keen on that at the time. I loved his pipes and liked his story. Would have done his pipes but couldn't afford them at the time and wanted the assured volume control since that was my concern.
