I'm looking for that really rich deep tone for my 09 fatboy. Any suggestions ? Also i love the look of the big radius 2 into 1. Anything on that ?

I have the Bassani Road Rage 2 into 1 short on my Crossbones. It looks pretty sweet and has a low rumbly tone. Most of the 2-1s I have heard have a lower tone.....

I've been wondering the same thing. I can't decide between Big Radius 2-2 or 2-1.

The V&H Big Radius sounds nice, but I've read a couple posts lately where people say it's too loud.

Check this out. It may help a little... 2n1's are typically deeper, throatier sounding...

I went with the V&H Big Shot Staggered with the quiet baffles. The quiet baffles take the edge off and gives a deeper sound. Also looks great on the Fatboy....just my 2 cents.

Also check out the4 D&D fatcat for a 2 into 1 and the Rinehart 2 -1. Both are really nice sounding and provide great performance boost. If you need discounted pricing on exhausts send me a PM. Drew

Can't go wrong with a good old thunderheader. I have one on my Night Train and it gives you some great low end torque with a nice deep rumble. I got on it one night leaving a stop light and the guy on the bike behind me said it made his chest hurt, definitely has a distinctive pulse to it.
