I really believe, especially withthat cam, you would benefit greatly from a good 2-1, I know Dr. V-Twin can get good deals on D&D and Thunderheader I believe....

I think a 2 into would definitely benefit your set up. I do not know what the nubmers change would be, but it will benefit you for sure! I like the fatcat, but there are a lot of options to choose from. Some of the others include ThudnerHeader, V&H 2 into 1, Rinehart 2 into 1, Bassani Road rage, and the list goes on.

Don't know about the slip ons , but I talked with the Vance & Hines people at Sturgis about replacing my big shot longs & quiet baffles with the new pro pipe chrome, and they told me I would not see any performance gains, or not enough to justify the cost any way. I'm sure they would have liked to sell me a pipe ,but at least they didn't blow smoke up my azz and lie to me. Still might get one though it would probably be the fatcat.
