The best performance pipes seem to be the 2 into 1, they seem to produce the most low and mid range and very good topend power and torque, the short drag pipes are more of a top end pipe. Harley's respond like a car the longer the collector the more low and midrange you get the shorter it is the more topend you get

Definetly the 2 into 1 pipe is the PERFORMER. I prefer the V+H PRO-PIPE, but you will get many different opinions here im sure.

What I've read for performance the 2 in 1, but I just like the 2 pipe look and it's 100's of styles of these with different ratings.

2 into 2 gives HP, 2 into 1 gives TQ, most pipes are 2 into 2 with crossover giving you both. here is the gain from just rush slip ons and a dyno tune.
from 63.99 hp to 75.41 hp and 78.16 tq to 87.36 tq.

after doing research, 2-1's will give best AUL, I think that D&D fatcats, TH's, ST's and V&H pp in that order, as far as 2-2 its a lot of decent ones and a crap shoot, real long and real short are probably not the best choice but then looks come in as factor and overrule performance. The tuner comes in more with how good he is and the time spent on tune is critical.

THUNDERHEADER, the venturi at the end of the pipe pulls the exhaust out of the pipe.

The D&D, Fat Cat, with quiet baffle is a top choice.

don't disregard the bassani's they have a great 2 into 1 and their sound is very distinctive
