I really dig my Rineharts (first positive post for them!).
I have no experience with the others, but if between TH and D&D, D&D gets my vote for looks alone. I just can't stand the TH look, I'm sure that is not why most choose them though.

On topic.... to me the thunderheader looks killer on a streetbob , however I think the D&D wins on a chromed out bike like the OP has. D&D is a much better finished pipe. The chrome is outstanding.

What pipe is that?!?! I love the upswept can, it's probably the best looking 2-1 I've ever seen.
I agree, however on his particular bike, like ws6 formula, the D&D in chrome will really set it off with it's clean lines. I have the D&D myself done in black and I think the thunderheader would be more appropriate on my bike(although I would probably loose some low end torque). D&D has a better torque curve on stock motors than thunderheader, The torque comes on really early. Hare's a badd *** exhaust system:

From a performance standpoint, sounds like he ruined the best engineered 2-1 pipe around.
Probably sounds pretty good though.
Probably sounds pretty good though.
There is a local bike here that is a 2008 FXDB with a 131 T-Man motor, with a D&D Fatcat that the entire silencer can has been chopped off to about 6" long, and there is absolutely no baffles in it whatsoever.
I must say I have never in 25 years of riding HD's heard anything like that bike. It sounds like a HD T/F drag bike.
I do like the D&D, but honestly I really love the way the T-header back tube wraps forward around the nose cone.

If it attracts girls like the ones in your sig pic, I'd have to agree it's the best 2-1 pipe around!
