FWIW FM gets my vote too. It's $$, but you can always hang a dummy pipe if you don't like the 2/1 appearance.
The Jackport headpipe is a 2 -1 - 2. Looks identical to the stock once you get the heat shields on.

If I go up to FM, they will give me the unit and tune the bike. The H-D dealer will use their own.

The fuel moto is a nice head pipe. But I went with the vance and hines power duals on the 17. I've run the power duels on my 10.

Check out this nice sound clip from Fuel Moto. It's what helped me make up my mind. My bike sounds exactly the same. Talk about a nice growl!

When I checked the Fuel Moto website, the only 2-1-2 head pipe for the '17 Milwaukee 8 I saw had the mismatched sized outlets, just like the OEM factory pipe. For the life of me I can't understand why they would have done that when chances are if you're changing the head pipe you're also going to change the slip-ons. I've messaged them at FM to see if they have, or will have, a pipe fitment for the '17 but with matched outlet sizes.

We designed our 2017 M8 Jackpot headpipe to work with 2017 mufflers; this includes all 17 style aftermarket mufflers as well as the OEM mufflers. We are not offering the pipe to fit with earlier mufflers.

Hopefully your dealer has installed all 3 systems and can show you dyno sheets or explain the benefit or downside to each. Based upon what I am hearing from a few performance shops, you are going to lose torque in the 1,500-2,500 rpm range with aftermarket headers. Gains are from 3,000 and up. So if your doing this for performance, I'd find out which ones works for your driving style.

Definitely the Fuel Moto set up and if they are that close, ride on over to them.
