Default Your Thoughts
I'm rippin' my hair out here. I'm trying to figure what exhaust system to switch to. The D & D Fat Cat 2:1 full system or the V & H Big Radius 2:1. I'm thinkin' of these 2 because I feel a FB should have a big *** pipe hangin' off it. What do you think? Or any other ideas?
Thanks,
Harry

I went with the Fat Cat.
Other notables that were in the running; Bub 7 2-1 (shows promise on dynos), Bassani Road Rage, Thunderheader, V&H's Pro Pipe, Supertrapp Supermeg (tuneable).

D&D would be my choice too. I have a Rinehart 2-1 on my fatboy, but I just ordered a Fatcat + ghost pipe for my SG. I think the D&D is the pipe to beat.

Would go with D&D. A few have gone the V&H route and lost power.

Fat Cat with quiet baffle. The quiet baffle gives a bit more low end power and a deeper sound. Although it is called the quiet baffle, it is still pretty loud. When I got mine a few years back, Eastern Performance had the best price and free shipping, don't know about now.
