Default Help with Exhaust Choice

I have a 2011 Denim Blk FB Lo that will be getting a SE Pro Stage III kit and new exhaust soon. I want to consider performance and looks obviously. I am trying to decide between the following:

1) V&H Competition Series in either black or brushed SS(matches other brushed on bike)

2) D&D Low Cat (only choice would be black)

http://www.danddexhaust.com/catalog/2008/06/53831.htm

I would appreciate everyone's opinion on which pipe for looks and performance.

Thanks,

Blair

Check out Super Trapp SuperMeg. They have it in black also.

Lowcat is my choice of those two. My buddy has a built Dyna with a black Sueprterapp and that thing flys! It kind of sounds like a spaceship with that pipe. Other options for a 2 into 1 are the Bassani Road rage. I think a longer pipe will give you more power due to more space to scavenge the exhaust gasses.

Thanks guys for all the opinions. I have definitely ruled out the V&H but since the Supertrapp was offered up, I am now between it and the D&D. I really like the sound of both and I think the performance will be similar.

I think I like the way the Supertrapp flows better. It doesnt seem as pieced together and seems to flow better.

What do you guys think?
