I'm running the S&S Sidewinder 2-1. Seems to runs to run better than my previous 2-1-2 setup.

It's got a loud idle, rips when you get on it, but is surprisingly quiet out on the highway. Just did a 1,000 mile trip with GF on back no complaints

2 different exhaust systems. The LSR is baffled and the ProStock is not. I have the LSR and I feel it has a very classic tone as it is constructed with a heavy gauge steel, at idle it is nice, at cruise it is not loud, when you jump on it things start to get a bit loud, LOL

I have the D&D Fat Cat , and have been happy with it. Not ear splitting loud, but throaty enough to get you noticed. And I picked up hp and torque after the install. The fit and finish is second to none.

I have a Bassani Road Rage II in Flat Black on my 14 SGS. Love the pipe. Looks killer, sounds Killer. Find the one you like, as said 2:1 are all pretty decent.

If I was looking for a 2-1, Dragos would be my first call.

Exhaust is like oil the debate is endless.
Each engine will prefer a certain exhaust, for some reason.
I like a lot of the 2 into 1 exhaust.
Like the Bassani and V&H pro pipe hs, there are more that I like.
I suggest talking to folks at biker hang outs and have a listen for your self.

QTRRacer got it right on the LSR I have both the RBR LSR and RBR ProStock. The ProStock on the other hand is my favorite but will set off car alarms when I blip the throttle. It reminds me of my 1988 Super Glide with worked EVO and drag pipes!
