Yup, plenty threads about this, but pretty much any 2:1 will get you performance you’re looking for...Thunderheader, D&D, V&H Pro Pipe, and RB Racing are top performers.

You’re going to get a lot of different opinions with a question like that. Fuel Moto is a reputable small business and a forum sponsor. One thing I can tell you is you won’t go wrong with a system from them. It will look good and perform. Here’s a link to their 2 into 1 system that fits your bike. Give them a call. They will answer all your questions.

That's like asking which beer tastes better. It's all a matter of personal preferences.

Go to a bike night or a biker bar and listen to the bikes as they pull in. When you hear one you like, go up to the guy and ask him about his exhaust and what mods he's done. Tell him ( or her ) that it sounds sweet. You compliment a Harley rider and he will be happy to talk about his bike for days.

If you are worried about performance, a good dyno technician can get any modern exhaust pretty close to each other as far as performance goes. The numbers might be a little different but your butt dyno wouldn't be able to tell.

Good luck agonizing over your choice.
