I'm really leaning towards the Dragula or Fuel Moto based on words here. A friend of a buddy has a Dragula so I will be able to here that in person, but no such luck on the FM. I'd also still like to hear a pro pipe in person as well.

Baggers magazine did a test on a bunch of exhausts a few issues ago and the Pro Pipe had the most HP and torque on a stock engine over all other brands.
The newest Pro Pipe has a 2 step exhaust size and steps up from 1 3/4" to I think an 1 7/8" before it enters the muffler so it should give a little deeper tone yet.
Mine is the older version with same size pipe from engine to muffler and it has been great. Standard baffle and never noticed this drone people complain of. Also when you add a cam any droning will go away and it will sound better and even deeper, I know mine did.

The FM pipe also has 12 and 18mm exhaust bungs if that matters and the pipe is made from stainless as opposed to chromed mild steel, so in theory should last longer. I believe the FM pipe has a lifetime warranty as well. I did the 2-1 Road and Track and Power Vision deal as well, you basically get the PV for 196 bucks.

I was in the same boat as you, after listening to the FM, ProPipe, and Dragula I went with the Dragula. I get so many compliments on the sound it's unbelievable. It's great to cruise around as it's not too loud but if you get on it it barks. You will not be disappointed.

I've ran the Bassani B-4 , D & D , Dragula and Dragula2 . Love the Dragula 2 , great performance , looks and sound . She will bark when you jump on her but are cruising not bad at all . I just spent 18 days on the road touring out west and Canada and she never bothered me on the road and I wear a 1/2 hamlet .
