2-1 Passenger Temp and Noise Input
Anyone with performance pipes like 2-1 Thunderheaders or D&D get feed back from their Ol' Lady about "Too Loud or Too Damn Hot"?? I want the extra performance, but don't want my wife to NOT want to ride...

They are loud, especially the thunderheader
I traded my old bike with a V&H ProPipe(for the last four years)for a brand new bike.I am fighting with my OL, She want's me to install the Supertrapp Supermeg 2into1 I have in the barn new in the box. I reallywant to keepthe stock pipes! Go figure
Oh yeah, she rides with me at least 90% of the time

RE: 2-1 Passenger Temp and Noise Input
Well...I'm on my second Fatcat after switching back and forth from VH duals. If you were switching from stock headers to a 2-1, I would say cooler, but if you've been used to duals, I have found the increased heatnoticeable with the Fatcat, more so than my old Thunderheader. Reason; equal length headers on the Fatcat wrap the pipe forward quite a bit right by my calf, where the duals were buried beneath the floorboards. The heat from the pipe is there more so than the TH I believe due to the equal header length vs the TH or other 2-1's.

I just converted to a 2-into-1 V&H setup. It looks and sounds really nice and the heat issues were also addressed. The pipes are directed farther away from the rider and passenger so the heat is much less. Actually, I don't notice the heat at all now. Although, riding is now in the 30's to 50's so early morning rides could use some of that heat.
