The Dragula is definitely on my radar as well. I did talk with Frank earlier this week about his pipe. Still have not ruled it out. What tuner are y'all running with yours? Any mods to the engine?
I have Cycle Rama 575 cams and use a TTS with my Dragula.
Our Ness-comp and Performer 2-1 systems make great power, and give you the nice deep growl you're looking for. All of our HD systems have a practical volume level,too that's louder than stock, but wont blow out your ears while riding.
As noted, the videos don't do justice, but here's a quick clip of our performer pipe:
I'm trying to decide which 2:1 exhaust to install on my '14 RK this winter. I've looked at Dragula 2, FM R&T, Freedom, Magna Flow and others. I am leaning toward the Dragula 2, however I'm intrigued by the Magna Flow Performer 2:1.
I've read some concerns about the angle of the 18mm O2 bungs on the MF Performer 2:1. My bike is stock except for a Dynojet PV-2. It will probably remain stock except for a K&N AC filter replacement in the stock AC housing. If I recall correctly, the 12mm O2 bungs are used in normal operation, and the 18mm are only used when wideband dynotuning (I'm no expert here...).
If I go with the MF Performer 2:1, does anyone have any concerns using this exhaust with the PV-2 for any otherwise stock 103 HO?. I will probably just look for a good starting map and then run the autotune with the PV-2. Except for maybe a cam change (not sure yet), I'm not planning any future engine mods unless the I have a motor meltdown for any reason. In that case, I would hope the MF Performer 2:1 would also work with a rebuilt motor (perhaps a 107ci with modest mid-range cams).
Anyone running the Magnaflow Performer 2:1? I'd like to see a dyno chart with some TQ/HP curves for this pipe on an otherwise stock 103. I've searched, but there's not a lot for this system on the forums or the web. I've sent a PM to Magnaflow for some info as well.
