Default Performance Pipe Study?

Ok everyone, I promise I did a search, but I came up empty handed. The current thread about 2-1 exhaust got me thinking. Back when I had a VROD (7 years ago) someone had done a study by putting the top 5 exhausts on the same bike and compared hp and tq numbers. Has anyone hear heard of a similiar study using a Twin Cam powered bike? I am trying to figure out, objectively, which exhaust puts out the best performance numbers.

If thats true it seals the deal on a d&d fat cat for me. No I must decide on the low or the std. fat cat. Its going to be black though!
