Default 2 into 1 exhaust sound


Hello all.

I'm currently riding a '15 fatboy lo with short shots, SE heavy breather, and a SE fuel pack. I'm looking to upgrade to a 2 into 1 D&D fatcat with a Power Commander V.

My question is sound comparison. How does the d&d compare to the SS sound. I like the volume of the SS, but it's a bit "tinny" for me--scientific term, I know. I'm looking for the performance of the 2 into 1as well as making the exhaust note a bit deeper. Does anybody have experience with both sets? How does the sound compare?

I appreciate any input

Thank you,
Brian

If you haven’t already, try a YouTube search. I went through the same and there were several videos on YouTube that provided decent comparisons.
Nice looking ride.

Default D&D

just put on a set of Fatcats on my Lo sound is deeper than the V&H slip-ons . Have short shots on my nightster with Big city thunder baffles,plus cams and pistons. that Nightster is loud and sounds badass! As for the D&D it is a deep exhaust note and does scream when you get on it very nice pipe

There's the sound of a Thunderheader . . .
Then there's everything else

2 - 1 by design alone would have more of a bass / deeper sound... you dont need Youtube to tell you that.

I'm more of a snap crackle pop kinda guy you get from 2 -2 and not the UPS van drone of a 2-1
