Default Rush 2:1 Exhaust?

Thinking about this exhaust system when I do a stage 1 to my '11 fat boy. Have not read a lot of feedback about this system so I am hoping someone here can fill me in regards to performance, sound, and quality. btw, I am exploring other systems but I need to stay in the same price range. Thanks!

Idk if you have started pricing them yet, but JP cycles usually runs some real good specials on the Rush exhausts. I had purchased one for about $350 on sale from their normal price of $650+.

Ended up returning it so I never installed it, but seemed like pretty good quality. It wasn't the 2-1, but the rush crossover, but same quality I'm sure.

I've got a pipe by Frank Drago that is essentially a modified Rush 2-1 exhaust. Love it...

Called rush and they do make exhaust for Drago but Rush has a longer warranty and a "ride on us" offer that allows you to return the exhaust if not satisfied. Btw, only found 1 rush 2:1 video. Sounds pretty good, the person who posted it seems to be satisfied.

I love my Rush black ceramic 2 into 1s! One, they sound awesome. Two, I had a noticeable feeling of an increase in torque over my previous 2 into 2s. Three, there aren't as many of them out there yet, and I love that. I ordered mine with the 2", 2.25", and 2.5" baffles so I can swap them whenever I want. The warranty and customer service from Rush is outstanding.

I have a friend who has the chrome 2 into 1 on his 2010 Fatboy. It sounds great and really liked the added power. I run the Crossover system and love it. Can't say enough about their quality and customer service is second to none.

I have black rinehart 2 into 1 on my wide glide. I absolutely love them. Not saying anything negative about any other brand - but i feel like it was the best bang for my buck exhaust wise.

The performance difference was noticable. I gained about 6 hp after a dyno tune.

6hp over stock?
There was a dude on a deferent forums that switch from 2-2 to supertrap 2-1 and gain 10 hp.

How did the 2.25 sound? The Rush Tech recommended that size. Told him that I had 1.75 slip-on on my Sportster and really liked it. I just don't want to get a baffle that will be too obnoxius or ear piercing. Something that will give me a nice rumble, alert cars that are beside me (Loud pipes saves lives) , and something that will not annoy my friends while on interstate.
