Default Need help picking side dump exhaust

I have 6" stretched bags and fender( NO Cut outs) with stretched side covers. I sold the Supertrapp Exhaust I had on it. Nice pipe but didn't care for the sound. Being a side dump I realize I'll leave a lose a tad bit of power as opposed to a longer 2-1. I am at a crossroads between these exhaust. If you have one or know of a good choice all input appreciated. Want the stubby but leaning toward the Rayzer for cost.

D&D Stubby $ 1400 stepped multiple times but most costly http://www.danddexhaust.com/content/...-touring-bikes

Drago c $700 Haven't seen one on bagger and don't know if it will clear the bags. Frank makes good stuff but without seeing it IDK? http://dragosbikeworks.com/exhaust/2744442

Python Rayzer $900 Looks and Sounds good. Not stepped head pipes. Heard complaints of being to close to bags and damaging paint? http://www.pythonperformance.com/pro...oductId=221439

Covington Destroyer $1100. Found someone who said they would sell for $999. Sounds decent and looks ok. Stepped from 1 3/4- 1 7/8 to 2 1/8. Only pipe I have ever seen that uses a bolted collector flange.

I like the D & D pipe. Also a guy I work with has the Python exhaust but took it off because it was too loud. If you want to go that route PM me and maybe I can help you save a few bucks...

If you want to retain power, D&D is the way I would go. The other thing we are going is running the full 2:1 system and then cutting down the end of the pipe just a bit. Then adding a turn down tip. This allows you to retain more back pressure with the longer pipe, and the turn down mixed with the modification allows the application to fit.

I asked d&D for a measurement from center of trans cover to rear of pipe and they said 24". I got about 21". If this is the case that pipe would hardly fit anything. Leaning now toward the covington or rayzer. Don't feel like chopping things up to fit a pipe. If someone has the d&d and can give me an exact fit that would be awesome.

21" until it hits what? An extended side cover?
The pipe cutting I was referring to the full length ones. If you want the most back pressure that is the best option. If it's not....then at least I tried to help..

21"-22" is to the bag or extended side cover depending on the pipe outlet location. I talked more with D&D and they stated they were made for yaffe bags so I do think it will fit fine. Said to measure was difficult. Found it for around $1200 so I still may go this route. It's either the Python Rayzer or D&D at this point. Don't feel like fabbing something up. Just can't justify spending over $1000 for a fancy noisemaker to be LAF and not have the go. Plus wife wouldn't be to happy either. Thanks
