2 into 1 pipes
Has anyone used the RB Racing 2-1 pipes? How did you like them? Going to do a HQ build and may go to a 2-1 pipe, if I canstand taking off myRinehardts.Oh, did they make that much power over the other 2-1s?

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
I just purchased the LSR C style, you won't be disappointed. Chroming is top notch, welds are fantastic. I'm sure you'll hear other opinions on this subject though. Took 9 weeks from order to arrival.

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
They won't make any more power than another well matched 2 into 1 pipe in my opinion.
They do a great job on their website convincing you that their pipe will do everything but make you breakfast.
If you match a decent 2 into 1 to your engine then you'll be fine.
If you're stock then it doesn't much matter...pick the one you like that looks the nicest. If you're modified then it becomes a little more difficult but the Fat Cat from D&D and RBR are two of the best....Pro Pipe from V&H can make some nice power and that's about it from my experience and research on the subject.

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
I agree with Hammer02! I also have D&D 2 in 1 header, but its a Boarzilla, just more upswept, go to the D&D Exhaust web site they give specs., dynos, prices, they dyno every header they sell! If you want about 10 more H.P. & 15 L.B.S. of Tourqe buy a set, but you need a SERT or another type tunener, but best if you could have bike Dyno-Tuned after Header in-stall, my penny, PURPLE HAZE.

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
There is a lot of forum grandstanding BS in these and other RBR bashing threads on many forums. I think they get it worse than say, VH, because they lack the manpower and marketing/PR to address this kind of feedback. I can't say that I have seen anyone say RBR pipes do not perform. Almost all complaints appear to be related to customer service. That's a missed point for many people.
The company may not be completely innocent in everything but its hard to argue that the customers do not have a significant responsisbility for making the situation worse. Deep breaths are in order for everyone.
Although I must confess I am glad to read so many bad reviews. The more of those there are, the fewer of you will buy their exhaust, and the more likely I am to be the only kid on my block with RBR pipes on my scoot.
So, here's to you, Mr. RB Racing Exhaust Basher.......(Que Budweiser commercial music here)

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
I've got the c-style on my NT. Hard to go wrong with either, not many run them. Loud as hell when you crank on them,still loud when you don't. Chose them over D+D for the ground clearance.No problems with customer service, very friendly. Answered all the ?'s I asked. Told me 4 weeks when I ordered them and that's when the came. Gonna use them on the Redneck framed sporty I'm building also.

RE: 2 into 1 pipes
I just swapped out my Vance & Hines BSS for the new Rinehart 2 into 1. I really like the new set up. The pipes are quieter than the VH but still have some bark when you hit the throttle. Have a nice deep rumble tone. I agree, most 2 into 1 pipes are probably all about the same in terms of performance. So just find one you like with a good quality finish. Good luck.

just put on V&H 2-1 Big Radius - loud (wouldn't want them any louder), low and rumbly. Can feel a performance gain and they got the looks too. Actually the only 2-1 system that I personally like look wise.

I like the Vance & Hines, but I still prefer my D&D'S, but it would be boring if we all had same chit. PURPLE HAZE.
