I can't decide on pipes!
Ok guys. since I'm so new to the HD world I need some help with pipe selection. Well let me tell ya about my bike. its a 2009 Crossbones with some mild cams and a screamin eagle tuner. It had a V&H RSD tracker pipe, but I didnt like the looks so I sold it. It made 85 hp and 93 lb of Tq with the RSD.
I really love the sound and look of the rinehart cross back pipes. But everyone tells me 2 into 1 makes more power. I hear some bad talk about rinehart. is that true? I also hear good things about thunderheader and D&D.
OK any advice will help
Thanks Guys!

I read on here recently that Mr. Rinehart says the crossbacks make the same power as their 2 into 1 system. If I recall correctly, he had sent an email to Rinehart regarding the future of the company and got a response from the son of the owner.
For help choosing you need to define what your goal is. Loud? Max power? Looks? Combo of all 3? give us a hand here.

Replaced my V&Hines BSS 2n2 pipe with the xover power chamber a couple weeks ago with a 2n1. SOP clearly tells me that the 2n1 is a much better performer. Lots of discussions about which 2n1 is best. imo - To say one is better than another is not always true or that simple. Depending on the build, which baffle is installed, if the pipe is tuneable... will effect how it performs on a bike. Also, retuning your bike with the 2n1 should also provide gains.

D&D for me. My previous bike had 103SE with 255 cams, D&D Fat Cat with standard baffle. It sounded good and improved the power. My new bike with the 110SE and D&D Boss Fat Cats and big bore baffle had the sound and performance I was looking for. It does take the 110SE to make this pipe combo work the best. But as with many things when you here other pipes you wonder if yours sound that good also. With these I don’t wonder anymore. link to installed pipes pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/2472867...7622719390400/

Check out RB Racing 2 into 1. I have three sets on three different bikes. I think they are great pipes. Everyone has their own opinion on their point of reference. If someone bought V&H and they liked them and had good luck with them then they will recommend them. This goes for any brand of pipe. My only point of reference is RB Racing pipes and that is why I recommend them over any of the other pipes. Good luck with your decision and let us know what you end up buying and ride safe out there!

I bet you'd have more punch on the bottom end if you would have stuck with the STD baffle. Stock SE110 is pretty anemic straight from the Moco, needs compression, good cam and some head work to really perk it up.

Good advice. I own a SERK and only went to the big bore after head work etc.
