I just talked to FM about the Road n Track and Pro Pipe, as I'm leaning more this route. Was told both will work great, I just have to decide which I want to go with. Would like to hear more sound videos on the FM, but not too many out on it.

In those charts, the Jackpot looks better than the V&H which has a slight dip at 3.5-4.0K. Also, I think I recall seeing some dyno charts where the Dragula 2 compared well with the Jackpot with regard to shape of the curves (smoother, no dip) and Ft-lbs/HP numbers.

Wish I knew how to really read these charts. I'm just going off the overall numbers for HP and torque.

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.

You won't go wrong with either the FM Road and Track or Dragula pipe honestly. My R&T pipe is starting to get broke in a little more and the sound is getting better and better each time I ride it. It barks when you whack the throttle and it's relatively social when just cruising around. Each person is going to have a different opinion of what loud is, as sound is really relative to each person. I ultimately chose the FM pipe because of the header being built from stainless, the warranty on the pipe and because of all my other interactions with Fuel Moto, it helped that they finally released the pipe in black and the Dragula 2 in black was still a long way off.
