Default Best 2 into 1 pipe?

I'm looking for a black 2-1 setup for my 07 FLHTC, already have the PCIII and the SE Stage 1 breather. I don't want something loud enough I can't hear my stereo, but also want to hear it more than the stock setup.
Right now the only real options I've seen in black are the Supertrapp and the Thunderheader. I understand the V&H Propipe will be available in black shortly.

Let me hear from those that have them as far as sound levels and the durability of the ceramic finish, tunability, etc.

Thanks

Leo HD was agreeing on the D&D Fatcat...he never said they were on his bike. Leohd's pipes are V&H bigshot dual blacks.

I also agree on the Fatcat as the best 2into1. Get the quiet baffle.

Check out the V&H Big Radius 2-1 it's amazing. My bike sounds like a Harley should sound with a nice deep rumble. Did I mention that it looks great as well?

You said not too loud? I would look at the V&H Pro Pipes. I had them on my last bike and they were perfect sounding. Quieter than D&D and look better IMO. Also they did an excellant job is increasing performance. If I ever get another 2-1 pipe it will be the Pro Pipe. That's my .02

+1 V&H Pro Pipe BP .. fit and finish are excellent. last two of my scoots have had this pipe first one came with it ... second one (ultra 05) was the first mod ...

Oh I love the sound, got several comments on the sound, even from ricers.

I've run only 2 into 1 on all my bikes over the years, yet this year kept the stock headpipes and used slipons on my '09 flhx.

However, after spending tons of time with tuners; big motor builders; and guys who seek power, the following applies..in order...

1. Thunder Header 2 into 1
2. V&H HS Pro-Pipe (non BP)
3. D&D Fatcat
4. Rinehart 2 into 1
5. all others...

Not taking sound into consideration, these are my observations for power. They all may be very close, like the D&D and Pro-Pipe are almost equal, but V&H edges it out slightly. These are motors not exceeding 110" BTW. 88-110 these figures stick.

Sound varies too on these, but frankly if you're chasing just sound then you're not really into power.

OK, next question what is this BP you refer to on the Pro pipe...one mentions getting the BP version one mentions non BP.
