I can't give you any performance numbers, but I do love my Rinehart 2-1.

When you make a decision as to which brand to buy, the next thing is to do some research concerning which baffle, for that particular exhaust, will fill your needs the best.
My choice was the Fat Cat with quiet baffle.

I personally do not like the 2-1 look, but they definitely sound great and most seem to add a performance edge as well.

I always wonder why Python gets so little attention when it comes to being used or on polls? They are a very good pipe, one of the best and if I am not mistaken one of the lightest 2 into 1 pipes on the market! They are made by V&H and almost always come through drag specialties too if I am correct. Oh well,, I do not have all that much experiance with the 2 into 1 but I do love this Python I now have on my scooter. It's very "throaty", a heavy bass sound and with great performance to boot! Oh well, I voted for the Fat Cat not because I am familiar with them but because of the choices given I think they look the best out of the bunch and if I were to get rid of my Python or ever damage it in any way, God forbid, I would put the Fat Cat on my scooter to replace what I have now.

Agreee, but it seems all down south, out west or east coast..

Here in the mid parts of the country U'll seldom see them.
I've looked for 5yrs to just HEAR them, So far I've found One bike that had them..
Here its mostly V&H's or RH's with a few THer's and SuperTrapps.
