i have the supertrapp supermeg and its hands down the best performance pipe ive had on my bike. great power throughout the entire rpm range, it is quieter than other 2-1's but its loud enough with the closed end cap and 16 disks to give it a nice rumble while not giving you a headache after all day riding. ive had v&h slip ons didnt care for the look but sounded good, had a thunderheader but it sounded like crap and was obnoxiously loud and seemed to have no power down low. and im sorry but that patriot exhaust has got to be the ugliest 2-1 I have ever seen.

I wanted a Fatcat for a long time, then I saw someone selling this Rush 2:1 system used here on the forums. Killer sound, good performance and looks as good as the Fatcat, in my opinion. It comes in chrome and black, has 1.75", 2", 2.25" and 2.5" baffles, ceramic coating inside and out, full-coverage heat shields, and you can swap out the end caps for further customization. I'm glad I scooped this one up!

since you like it loud I strongly suggest you go with a thunderheader! My choice with the supermeg 2/1 is because I can quiet it down if I need to otherwise it would be a TH

The V&H big shots have a crossover chamber in the pipe that is supposed to give you some added back pressure, but I doubt it is as much as the two into one system. If it were me I would get the V&H big radius two into one, I think they look the coolest except there might be a problem with the passenger foot peg.

Moved to a Pro Pipe w/Competition Baffle from Short Shots on my '10 Wide Glide.
There was a huge improvement in performance, and the sound is deep and loud.
