Bassani, BUB or D&D Which is the best
Everyone swears by the pipes they have on their bike. Who actually makes a 2 into 1 that can prove more power? I am fixing to buy a new pipe for my stroker motor and want the most power a pipe can offer. Has anyone gone as far as to use same engine and setup and just change pipes and tune on a dyno for proven performance?
Thanks

Ask your tuner, builder, headwork shop what they recommend. Or, copy a known, good build that delivers what you want.

Lets be clear guys, you can post all the dyno sheets you want, but unless they have back to back comparisons on the same bike with different pipes they mean absolutely nothing. I can give you my sheet with a Bassani but it doesn't mean that it wouldn't make less or more with a D&D.
I also find it amusing that the laughing stock of the sportbike world ( D&D and to a similar extent V&H ) seems to be the holy grail for some in the Harley world.

Shawn at the shop had a Road Rage 2 into 1 and one Al has the fatcat. Compltely stock motors and they both had Dyno's run at the same time. The D&D came out with higher HP and torque every time. As far as the sound is concerned, it is up to the driver what they like and what they don't. I just slapped a fatcat on my bike yeseterday and am quite pleased with it. Shawn switched to a fatcat about a month ago.
I am not trying to push one over the other as I sell all brands. Try contacting PhilM who has been on the forum here for years and did some Dyno testing for D&D a while back and see what he says.
