While your shopping for pipes check out Steve's Precision Fabrication.

I have a SPF pipe on my Dyna, no issues.

This - could have that thing fixed..., and better than new in ~ 30 Min

Should be a relatively cheap fix (< $50 bucks)

If you were in TX.., I'd do it for beer

I have some Bassani RR 2's and just got a clean break on the bracket. I was shocked since it is pretty heavy duty, and snapped between 2 of the mounting holes. My neighbors kid welded it back up literally better than new. The bracket has 2 gussets that were welded down 1 side. He welded them all the way around and showed me the weak point. Not bashing Bassani by any means, bit their warrantee looked like it would be more trouble than it was worth. Only cost me a 12 pack and no haggling or shipping headaches.

Update:
so I got impatient (and also have had a few people interested in the day exhaust) that I picked up RR3.

Construction feels great, install was easy, and straight forward (I'm a butter fingers, I ALWAYS drop the bottom rear flange nut) the only issue I ran into to is that they did not send the proper bracket bolts. Quick trip to hardware store, good to go.

Initial impression, I think it looks better. It is quiet in comparison to the sawicki though
