FatCat or Boarzilla???
Went to D&D's website. Their description of the 2 states that the FatCat is good up to a 103" motor, the Boarzilla over 107" motors.
Question is...I run a BLACK Bassani Road Rage right now. With my new paint job coming, I'm changing all the black to chrome. With that said, I'll need to do something about my pipes.
Now, the scenario...I'll be doing a HQ 120" build this Winter. Do I invest in turning my black pipes, chrome by adding Bassani's heat shield or do I bite the bullet and buy the Boarzilla?
If I buy the Boarzilla, how will this affect my 95" scoot since the BoarZilla is made for 107"+?
I don't see the point in spending money on a FatCat when it'll be obsolete for me in about 8 months.
If I go with the Boarzilla right now, who has the best pricing?

RE: FatCat or Boarzilla???
I have a good friend runs a 120 Zippers setup. He is changing from the true duals to Fat Cat with quiet baffles. This guy does his homework and is as much a HP junky as I am. I ran a Boarzilla on my 116" Road King. There was a noticeable drop in TQ under 2500 rpm and the noise was painful. I had it on for1 road trip and about 3 weeks total. I sold it on Ebay... My .02, go with the Fat Cat and Quiet Baffles (the quiet baffles are actually larger and flow more air).

Boarzilla is really for 124" motors and larger.............not the 107 that they have on their website.
Go with the Fatcat with performance baffle.............your bike will thank you.

I would recommend the FatCat w/performance baffle or possibly a quiet Boarzilla baffle, with is actually the quiet version of the perf baffle for the FC's.

RE: FatCat or Boarzilla???
I am running the Boarzilla on my 120 and it is a great performance pipe. It didn't hurt the torque, but it is higher in the rpm range. It is also a very loud pipe, even with the quiet baffle. I have made modifications to it to bring the torque back down where it belongs. If I had it to do over again, I would go with the Fatcat. Withthe performance baffle it will easily handle the 120.

Hey Phil, whats the different between the performance baffle and the quiet boarzilla baffle? Do they both fit in the fatcat? Which one flows more?

The FatCat Performance Baffle is actually the Boarzilla "standard" baffle. It's very similar to a FatCat standard baffle, but it's about 2/3 the length. The Boarzilla "Quiet Baffle" is just like the standard, only it has packing around it. The core diameter and length is the same as the STD Zilla baffle, and still 2/3 the length of the FatCat STD or QT baffle.
I only know this because I have one of each for my Boarzilla. Now me challenge will be deciding which one to try in a FatCat.
Does that help at all?
