Which 2-1 pipe Crossbones
After many weeks of research on you tube and real life have narrowed my exhaust choice to just 2 (4 if we count colours)
I love the look and sound of the V&H propipe. I also have a SE filter and a fuelpak for the mufflers on there at mo, so getting settings that I know work favours v&h. After the max stage 1 performance I can get without adjustable race tuners, cams, dyno’s etc.
But then very taken with the D&D fatcat though i’m not sure about the sound though have never heard one ‘for real’ . They seem to have a good rep on here. Although the rear cylinder downpipe seems to stick out awkwardly from some angles... again this is from photos’s only. The other downer is that they not that readily available in UK ..... they do look great and edge the v&h possibly?
The BIGGEST question is colour, swore I would get black but now thinking chrome is a possibility. I’m not trying to black out, just get a tasteful combination that heavily nods at (but isn’t pretending to be) old skool if that makes sense! Reminder of where I am at mo
Thought it might relieve the boredom to turn into a vote .....
Thanks for your feedback!

i run the V&H RSD 2-1 Tracker. Very cool exhaust. Easily remove baffles if you want it loud or leave them in for a quiter but not really that quite sound. Great performance pipe. Sorry no pics as i am out of town.

D&D, black for your ride is my choice. I will be taking a new video of my fatcat not in my garage (as someone stated the sound is off) tonight or tomorrow and posting for everyone to hear. Here is a link the to video I took a few dyas ago. I ahve heard Bassani's and V&H as well. I find the V&H to have a tinny sound, but Bassani's sound great too.

I have the V&H pro-pipe and like it. I think it would look really good if you got it in chrome and wrapped the header pipes in black wrap.

just installed the fatcats and am really happy with choice. everyone has their likes and dislikes as far as sound/ looks, mine doesnt stick out awkwardly as you mentioned. nice and loud, but not too loud and also gained some nice increase in power/torque.
