01 fxd exhaust?
Trying to choose between v&h pro pipe hs,thunderheader and d&d. Bike has 204 cams and filter. Currently running v&h long shot staggered is what I think they are called. Just put d&d on a stock 11 fat boy with perforated baffle and it seems quite to me. I have heard videos on u tube of a 88" with 204 cams and it sounds nothing like the fat boy I just put them on. What do y'all think.Here is the video of the one I'm talking about.

The fat cat with the quiet baffle gets louder over time. When I first put mine on with the "quiet" baffle I was disappointed as well. It is much louder now, although still not that loud at idle. The big bore I did didn't hurt it but it is far from quiet. I had the TH first and I liked the sound beter but had issues with the mounting bracket cracking...twice. My bike had an older V&H on it when I bought it and it was not bad, but it was chrome and seemed to avhe a little less power than either the D&D and TH. THe TH had more low end torque judging by the seat of my pants but the D&D has more midrange and top end. I am running Andrews 37 cams but had the Andrews 21 when the TH was on so that partially explains the low end torque.

I figured the perforated baffle would be louder then the standard baffle. To me the bike in the video(that has the standard baffle)sounds 100 times better then the one I put on the fatboy.

When comparing teh D&D to my Samson super cholo fishtails with no baffles the fatcat sounds quiet, but the fatcat is still plenty loud.
The thunerheader sounded much better but the cracked bracket after two weeks really pissed me off.
