Default Fat Cat 2:1 - Any regrets?

For those who installed a fat cat on your ride, do you have any regrets?

I'm interested in this too.

Ever drag? Hard to get to the oil fill cap? Foot rest weird with it? Loudness?


If anyone has any pictures of one on a LR-S, I'd love to see them.

ok it won't let me post a pic but I'll keep trying. So no, I don't have any problems with the oil cap or brake whatsoever. When you order it, you do have to specify forward or mid controls. It is a louder exhaust, but I love it. It's not too loud for me, and in my opinion the only better 2-1 for performance is the road rage (I hate to admit that because I don't like the look of the road rage, but every dyno sheet I see seems to have 10-13 more torque than fat cats)

you ou can't go wrong with d&d. I also like the fact that they have 12mm and 18mm o2 bungs, so whatever your tuning preferences, you're covered.

Only problem ive had, and I hear this is common is the exhaust gaskets, I had to use the screamin eagle gaskets. Don't use tapered. Some people double gasket the se sets, I did but for a while but recently switched back to one gasket so I can double nut the exhaust studs.

Awesome, you got black wheels, that's the exact combo I was interested in seeing.

And OldEnuf, that back support looks pretty neat low like that. Don't think I've seen one that style before.

Thanks for posting guys!


I'm torn on the RR3. I really like the look and yet it's not what I want. Plus I've been known to use the heat shields to warm my fingers at a stop light before, lol. I would think the FatCat might be better for a passenger too, past them rather than right at head level.

Haven't seen anything that shows the RR3 beat the FatCat. They looked neck and neck with the dynos I've seen.(?)

ok let me clarify, I've seen SOME dyno sheets with the same mods as mine (lrs w/se117 kit) with the road rage that had higher torque. I dont mean I'm an expert or seen 500 dyno sheets lol. But I can think of about 5 offhand that beat the fat cat. I hate to admit, but that's what I've seen. I'm currently at 105/120 hp/tq on pv autotune. this aside, I'll never run another exhaust other than d&d.
