Negative people at a business drives away customers. Might want to say something to the owner. Unless that guy was the owner. If I had to buy a 2 into 1 exhaust that is the exhaust I would buy. Looks good to me. If I can't get a swing arm bag to work with mine just might buy a Fatcat exhaust.

Time to find a new shop bro. If he was any good he would get what you wanted out of your set up or at least explain why he couldn't get there.

I second that, a good shop wont BASH products, but instead compare them and weigh the pro's and con's with you. Too many places are high on the horse thinking they are the best of the best.. when in reality... There are very FEW shops that are actualy GOOD shops. But.. there a ton's of ok shops that can do good work.
