Vance & Hines 2 into one Big Radius OR D & D Fatcats.
Big difference between Or and Are, as a side note. Yes, from what I've read 2-1 exhausts perform the best. Of the 2, I can't say which performs better, but I think the difference would be minimal enough that you should pick whichever you like better. (Sound or look-wise.)
Check out the latest issue of American Iron, Peterson does a good job of explaining why some pipes perform better than others and gives some recommendations.
Between the 2, I would go for the fatcats. Been talking to alot of indys/dealers and all are saying their seeing really good #'s with the fatcats. Thunderheaders are another popular 2-1 with good performance. I originally was looking at the thunderheader and to my surprise, I was told to stay away from them by quite a few shops! Quality of chrome sucks, welds breaking and some all out rusting through in a short period of time along with them not standing behind their products,I took them off the list!
BTW, I decided to go with a Supertrapp Supermeg after doing a little research. The fact is was tunable beyond just changing out a baffle sold me on it. Plus I had really good experiences with Supertrapp in the past with ATV mufflers.

Yup, what "CountryPunk" wrote above sums it up. I can only add that the D&D Fat Cat isn't a good pipe...........It's a great pipe!
It had everything I was looking for:
Fit
Finish
Performance
Sound
Complete heat shields
Minimum joints
Equal length or close to equal length head pipes

From what I've heard and read Supertrapp makes a great product. I'm going with a 2-2 Supertrapp Mean Mothers II. The performance won't be as good as a 2-1 system but I'm not sold that it would make THAT much of a difference. I like the look of the 2-2 better.
As far as 2-2 systems go, everyone seems to have V&H. Haven't seen any Mean Mothers around here.....dated a few though. lol
