Default Cant Decide On a 2 into 1 Exhaust....HELP

have to admit I never liked the look of a 2 intio 1 exhaust until latly, now i cant stop thinking about them lol. My x bones has a 103 in it and i feel im not doing it justice with my V&H short shot stagerd im running now. I feel as if I have narrowed it down to a Fatcat, Thunder header, and the big raduis 2 into 1s (all in black of course). looking for some peoples input who have these pipes and what they recomend. And pics of course.

P.S. i love the way my pipes sound now with BCT baffels in them (nice and loud) so i am a little woried i will not like the sound as i have heard 2 into 1s can be a little quiet.


Thnks guys

I also want 2 into 1 for my ultra, but only because it's time for new pipes and thats what I want.

I would not trade in my 2 into 2's on my softail to gain a bit more horse power unless i needed them. I can run 115mph and I can smoke my tire to a melt down as is. Don't really need more.

With all that said, it really comes down to what you want! 2 into1 fatcats sound really good and they are loud. They will also give you the best performance from an exaust stand point.

Good luck bro.

No doubt about it... FatCat!!! If I were to ever put a 2-into-1 on my bike, it would be FatCat for sure. Makes great power and not to mention sound b!tch!n !

I have a thunderheader. My second one. Chrome burned off the first one at 1,000 miles. Current one. Is now flaking off. I won't own another one.

My buddy had a black TH and it looked like crap after a little bit. Every TH I see either chrome or black start to look raggedy after a while. they sound killer and produce mass tq, but I dislike the styling as well. I run a fatcat on my fatboy. I dig it. Tq for days. Here is a pic of my fatcat. D&D makes top notch exhausts that provide excellent power.

Never been a fan of the straight pipes myself... for the 2 to 1, I actually prefer the Vance and Hines Big Radius.. The Curve I think gives the bike more character. Depending on your model or color-scheme would be the difference between Black or Mirrored Chrome.
