Default 2 into 1 vs. 2 into 2 which is better?

Thinking about putting 2 into 1's on my Xbones, hoping some of you will provide your opinions regarding what style of pipes offer best performance, toque, and sound. Is there a difference in sound ? Let's hear it guys - what pipes do you prefer and why.

I've the V&H true duals on for about a year now and thinking of replacing them with 2 into 1s ... still not sure which ones at the moment.

Thinking of supertrapp:

Or might just put the stock ones back on with different slip ons.

As for why, with the true duals lost some low end torque (not that bad) but as far as I am concerned they are a bit too loud (yeah getting old) so kind of lean towards the supertrapp since they can be tuned for loudness/torque with the disk system. I might also go for their "quiet" pipes

Not very pretty but I get great power and sound out of a Thunderheader. Not sure how they would look on a crossbones thou. But they have been around for a while so maybe you could consider them old school.

2 into1 is more eficient at scavanging thus more power and torque. Personaly the d&d fat cat in black is my favorite for power and noise.

Love the look of your bones.
I am also considering the Supertraps as I put them on my last bike 1500 Intruder and loved the sound. The fact that they can be tunes and made as quiet or loud as you want is a great feature. I like the black 2 into 1 for my black bones.

Two of the local shops here always recommend D&D Fatcat 2 into 1 if you are looking for more power and torque.
