I've had my 2009 Dyna Super Glide custom for 5 years now. I really like it and they seem to always be a work in progress. The previous owner had installed V&H straight shot slip-ons with quiet baffles installed. Stock intake and I believe no tune was done. Also no piggy back controller. The bike runs well but has some serious decel pop that I'd like to abate as it is extremely annoying to me. As we are all well aware, one thing always leads to climbing the ladder with these bikes so I was planning on purchasing a Fuel Pack Tuner, and while I'm at it, it seems to make sense to install a free flowing intake like a Arlen Ness Big Sucker. So getting to my original question, is installing a 2 into 1 exhaust like the Bassani Road Rage worth it dollars wise? I'll state that I like the look of both types of exhaust but I'm sure the 2 into 1 would give it maybe a few more hp over the straight shots. I'm interested if other who have gone this route feel the expense is worth it. As an option, I guess I could always try to find a used system in nice shape.

That all depends on what you want out of it. If you just want to get rid of decel pop, there's definitely cheaper options than a $900+ pipe. I've had 2-1's on both my Dynas and I thought it was "worth it" but my reasoning may be different from yours. I like the clubbed out look, so i run 2-1's. Yes a 2-1 will give you a few ponies but more often than not a new pipe is paired with a new tune and THAT is where you'll feel the difference.
Another 2 - 1 fan here. Last one I bought was the Bassani Tall Shock model w/Power Vision for my 09 FXDL.
As a combination I really like it and consider it worth it. Bought it from Fuel Moto and the tune they loaded is almost spot on.
Have a little decel pop but working on it to decrease it, so it is a lot better. The other nice thing about Fuel Moto is as a package you usually get a better price.Not to mention excellent customer service.
Yup, my 09 has oxygen sensors. Fuel Moto seems to get good reviews for products and customer service. I'm kind of a fan of the club bike look myself. My bike has a lot of Chrome from the factory and to tell you the truth, if I had bought a new bike I would have gotten black on black as I'm not much of a chromo-sexual kind of guy but I got such a good deal on it, I couldn't pass it up. I think a chrome 2 into 1 would work along with a Big Sucker with just the Chrome cover. what do you think....pic of bike as she is today below.
Just post what you do?
I too am thinking about 2 into 1 exhaust, but the price is not worth the effort to me,
There are budget pipes, but there short pipes and I prefer the long look.
But which ever route you choose... Post pics! Both sides of the bike...
Thanks for the tip on the Fat Cat! I personally do not like stupid loud exhaust.
Good one Antonio........got a good chuckle out of that one.
Rew, definitely will post updated pictures once completed.
Suede I could not agree with you more, the stock AC is Ugly's even uglier step sister!!!
So my 2 current thoughts
Fuel moto power package would be $1050.00 for Bassani Road Rage 2 Chrome plated plus Arlen Ness Big sucker and Fuel Pack 2. The exhaust from them is the best price I can find anywhere. Any opinion on the Bassani Pipe? The last Bassani Pipe I used was on a 1970 Yamaha CT175 Enduro 2 stroke so that kinda shows that I'm as old as dirt....lol....
I've considered the Fuel Moto Air Cleaner (Cause they have them at a great price) but I think it only comes in Black. I think the Big Sucker with small Chrome cover would look good on this bike.
Alternately, I could just do the air cleaner and fuel pack and save close to $600.00 but I'd always feel like I cheeped out, plus I may have to turn in my Dyna Bros Card if I left the dual exhaust on it....
