Need advice for exhaust on 2011 dyna superglide custom
Hello everyone this is my first post... Ok well I am going to do a Pcv with a kuryakyn Mach 2 air cleaner... My question is about the pipes I have been researching and researching but are torn between the big radius 2-2 or some rineharts flush 2-2.. I also like the bss... I have never heard big radius or the rinharts in person... I just love the looks of the big radius... Please help me choose the right pipes... Thank u

Thanks I'll have to look into those... My main concern is looks and sound... Next year I am going to do a 107" build and I no 2-1 will give me the best performance but I can't get used to the looks of those... I am willing to sacrifice a few horsepower to get the sound and looks that I want.... Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated

if you know your going with a 107", talk to the builder and ask their opinion. At that size, should really choose the right pipe. For the 96", just they all perform about the same so go for looks and sound.

Thanks guys... Imboden, those rims are sick on ur bike I'll hopefully get some pics up here of my bike when the site lets me.... Donn the builder always reccomnds the 2-1 pipe... Like I said I just can't get past the looks even with the build the big radius shouldn't hold me down that much...

OK--I would avoid the Big radius for 3 reasons:
1. They are way too "trendy". Everyone's got 'em, Plus they look too out of place & modern on what is supposed to be an "old skool" looking bike, the SuperGlide Custom.
2. I would go with any kind of slip on, Possibly Rineharts or Pythons, that will let you keep the "staggered dual" look & configuration of the SuperGlide Custom, which is supposed to look like a 70's era 4 speed SuperGlide. HERE'S THE REASON--To get the authentic "Harley" potato sound, the most important factor is to have the pipe openings far apart, like the stock configuration for staggered duals. That way, you get the "delay" between the sound of each pipe./ With the radius pipes, the openings are too close together to give you that "separation". They sound good, but give the impression the bike is idling too high. For my money, the best sounding Harleys are Dynas with slip ons. Staggered duals give you the best "old skool" sound. That is the primary reason Shovels sound so good.
3. Slipons will USUALLY give you the best power increase (after 2 into 1, which you don't want) with a minumum of tuning. Usually work just fine with a download. And it's the cheapest way to go.
