Default Slim S Exhaust recommendations

Anyone got any ideas/recommendations on a 2 into 1 pipe for the slim S ?
I had the Vance & Hines Competition Series 2-Into-1 on my dyna & really liked it but not sure it would suit the S ?

I had the mustang on mine but didn't like it for those exact reasons & i couldn't get used to the back bit, so I've gone with a LePera & although lots of people say its too hard I really like it.

thx paul, btw is your mind set on only the 2-1 exhaust? i ordered the Vance & Hines Big Shots Staggered for my slim s and its coming in today. ill post some pix after the install. from what i read on customer reviews everybody seems to love it. if you do go 2-1 i would get V&H then get a fuelpak3. very easy to use.

Not necessarily, quite like the idea of a 2 into 1 with a fishtail tip if thats possible.

Before answering your question are you more concerned with performance or looks? If you want performance it is really hard to beat the Supertrapp Supermeg. The D&D Fatcat is also a good choice for performance. If you are more concerned with looks just buy what suites you.

I was up at Warrs in London today & had a wander through their workshop & saw this heavily customised Slim S
Love the hand made pipes on it.
