For true dual PERFORMANCE.. Rinehearts...

I put a set of Bassani's with Hooker Muffs on my brothers bike (Against my advice).... he lost torque and hp... Bassani's have a pulse thief in the rearpipe, looks like a pretzel bend... not good for performance...

I'd also like to hear from members experiences since I just ordered a 06 RG and what to know which pipes would be the best choice.

I like that term...."pretzel bend"[sm=icon_rofl.gif] Every exhaust sytem designed for every car/truck/motorcycle is a compromise, that being said, I would rather have an exhaust thats built for torque rather than rpm's on a Harley.
Designing an exhaust system with equal length primary tubes requires making the rear pipe with bends if the exhaust is exiting the rear of a Harley, wouldn't you agree?
As long as its a radis bend, I find it hard to believe that the pressure wave traveling at approx the speed of sound and the gas flow traveling at approx 350 ft/sec will mind, Especially if the equal length header pipes contribute to the scavaging effect.
Now add stepped equal length header pipes and ceramic coating (To hold the heat in---hotter gases travel faster than cooler gases) Bassani did a pretty good job in designing the exhaust system using a pretzel bend

But hey, thats my opinion and thats the reason I use Bassani.

BTW.........What would you call a Forumal 1 exhaust pipe? A bag of pretzels[8D]

What in God's name are you talkin' about ? This isn't the old age home, there BlueBeard "Pulse Thief" Huh???

I think you've been down the corner Gin-Mill (the kind of dump that doesn't serve any cracklin' bowl snacks) way to long - dreamin' of a big bowl of highly salted pretzels and drinkin' to many shots of Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon, in between passing the crack pipe, and tellin' people your a real motormichael mechanic !!! LOL-

Easy big fella - just kiddin'
