Default 2 to 1 exhaust???

I was just wondering how much of a difference would you really feel performance wise going with different brands?

From what I understand Thunderheaders will give you the most noticeable performance boost and will show the most HP increase when tested but when Rinehart and Vance and Hines look so much cleaner is their that big of difference?

I've python which is a good one (2-1) made by V&H.
There is V&H pro pipe which is also good
Rinehart 2-1 is also cool..

V&H 2-1 big radius is awesome the way it looks is super cool.

I've seen a guy selling on ebay for 550 with freeshipping

No.. you won't see much difference brand to brand in performance. Once you have figured out you want a 2-1... then it's just about which one you like the looks of, and flows with the lines you want on your bike.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about this company. Their website can honestly answer Any and every question you have about exhaust.

I spent months going over all the posts from the guys here that know what they are talking about(and wasted days from those who don't)after I blew my money on SE slip ons. Unless you are racing and you need that extra 1/10 of a sec go for what sounds and looks good to you, and if you choose the Rinehart 2in1 you have good taste.

This exhaust is ****IN BADASS! I ran one on my old DX. Crack the throttle and people will hear you comin from miles away. Great performance. The LSR 2-1 gets my vote for sure.

get the 2-1 you like the best. Performance will be very close between all the pipes. I have a D&D fatcat. Very big improvement in torque thru the lower/mid rpm's vs 2-2. I can't really notice an increase over my old big radius pipes when on full throttle though.

Yeah performance is gonna be pretty close with all the 2-1 pipes. What it comes down to is the look and sound based on your personal preference. Go on youtube and type in Thunderheader, D&D fat cat, V&H, etc. and listen up for the one you like most.

I have the bub's ,which is the same as reinhart, and the torque is mid to high range, so there is a difference for you! G from alta!

I noticed a bit more pull with my thunderheaders over the Bassani 2-1 pipe. But I'm sure they will all be very close.
