Default Bagger Exhaust Advice?

OK guys, I need some advice. I know there is no shortage of that here! I am contemplating two different exhaust systems for my Road King. I posted tis here because these are not your typical bagger exhaust systems. I am either going to buy Vance and Hines longshots, or Vance and Hines 2 into 1 Pro Pipe. I am leaning toward the 2 into 1 because of the different sound and the HP gain. I have a 97 EVO with a Carb. Please give me some input and/or opinions. And Please, Don't hold back (yeah right!). Thanks. [sm=thanx.gif]

I personally like the True Dual look, but seeing as your gonna be so damn complicated I would have to say go the 2 into 1 setup for looks.

For me.. a bagger needs duals... something just seems to be missing on a 2:1 (IMHO)

But if you are stuck on a 2 into 1 try D&D...
Best sounding 2into1 that I have heard, PERIOD!!!
Of course, that is just my opinion. It's worth everything you paid for it...

Pro-Pipe. Better power and way easier to tune than overly long pipes. I had the Long Shots on an EVO with an S&S Super E. Never could get the carb *just* right (and I can tune a carb). I also liked to ground the end off the bottom pipe going around tight right handers.

I prefer true duals also.

If I was to go with "one-sided" with do 2into1 for the power considerations. Also, I prefer their look to longshots, etc. on a bagger.
