Off Topic Ramble Alert:
Fatboy, My bike is at the tuner and I'm really hoping to get my 104 TQ up to 110 and keep my HP around the 95-ish range with that 2-1 Pipe. Tuner isnt feeling good about it and thinks we may even lose a few HP. Claims that our altitude causes some issues and that improving on what I had is going to take even more compression which I do not want.

Chaz, before I bought my ProPipe, I was telling my HD Tech that I was thinking of getting a Rinehart 2-1. He advised me not to get the Rinehart because it does not Dyno very well. That's when he told me to get the ProPipe because they are consistently putting out good numbers.
I was told the same thing....
They dont make the Pro-Pipe in black, the D&D lowcat in black is fvckin' expensive and looks to be not as well built as the Riney. The thunder header just looks wrong on a Train, the Comp pipe from V&H has no heat shielding, The Bassani is $500 bucks then you gotta buy the shielding seperately.....
My options were limited on a fully heat shielded black 2-1 in the price range I wanted to pay!!
I stumbled across a deal on that Rineage that I couldnt pass up. $260 off MSRP new in the box.
I liked the looks of the Rinehart the best of all the black 2-1's but went into knowing I was gonna leave a few ponies on the dyno room floor.
I'm going to pick the bike up right now.
Tuner claims it turned out OK.
My goal wasnt HP but TQ. I wanted to hit your 110 Foot Pounds!!
I didnt.
Will post dyno shortly. Off to pick er, up!!!

Did you wait outside the pipe store for some sap and tell him,
"Pro-Pipe...You give to Sasha now you go home see wife see kids. No give to Sasha? You no see wife, no see kids".
"Sasha give you half of what you pay for pipe". "Go buy diffrent pipe and hamburger sandwich"
"Now you happy Sasha happy".
Sasha is good man. Veddy good.
Sorry Sasha....You make this forum a better place Bro!!
You just stay away from me and my new pipe with your half price offers of mutual happiness!!!

One more summer with my V&H Shortshots, then I wanna upgrade to the ProPipe. I wanted that Harley sound, but didn't have the $ for the ProPipe. I love the black Rinehart also. If I kill a deer this fall, then I have just saved alot of money on meat. So it can go towards new pipes...Yeah breaking even, everybody wins....Yeah.

I have the pro on my Fatboy also. I just recently switched from the competition baffle to the "quieter" baffle. Honest opinion, I'm seeing not much difference. Very little loss in power, if any and about 10dbs quieter. I like mine either way.
