Mimo.

Those phrases have come up from time to time. The dealer is checking on it tomorrow just to see what the deal is. I'll make a decision from there. It is definitely different than what I had before. The first muffler was turned down and also the angle of the slash cut was greater.

Thanks Drew a picture will help!

I like it, if you don't mind me asking, what kind os seat is that and is it reasonably comfortable?

Here is a pic of mine which I just received from D&D on Friday. It slants out so they must have changed it. Come to think of it, I noticed that after installing it but couldn't put my finger on what was different. Oh well, it looks good to me.

Not sure which one you're asking about so:
The two-up seat is a Saddleman Explorer and it is very comfortable. It is big and not the most streamlined but it does great for long rides.
The solo seat in my signature is a custom seat from High Rollers in Winston salem, NC and it is pretty comfortable as well.

Compared to your signature pic, my pipe does look quite a bit shorter. Man, the more I look at it I like your original pipe even more. I'm gonna have to stop looking so closely at them, I just installed it a few days ago!

For the record, mine is the D&D Fatcat 2 into1, chrome, louvered baffle, 00-10 softail. part # 504-32B-60087

Here is a pic from the catalog. The slash and length certainly look like your sig pic while what we received is shorter and has outward slash.

The Fatcat is a low pipe and one of the few complaints I ever heard was about it scraping. Maybe they shortened it and changed the angles on the end to help with this. Whatcha think?
