I have the D&D Fatcat with "quiet baffle" on my 07 Dyna. It replaced V&H Big Radius.

Power is good, way better the the BR.

Quakity seems good as well.

However, for me, it is still way too loud. If you are the type who want noise, it may be fine, otherwise....... I wear a full face helmet, but not earplugs.

My buddies say it sounds good, for what that's worth..

I am trying to find a better muffler for the header system (I purchased the bike used so don't have the stock exhaust, plus I want a black system, not chrome). I am considering either a Supertrapp (which is available with a 2 1/2" inlet, or a small aftermarket car muffler

Love it, sounds great. Performance is better than Rinehart and Sampson Caliber 2-1's I had previously and a bit quieter too (quiet baffle).

I ran them on my 98" with the silent baffle. Provided increased torque in the lower rpms. Love the look and sound even though I temporarily lost my hearing in my right ear right after a 5 day road trip.

I now run Bub 7's with the crossover. They are even louder on the 124" but then again, so would of the cats.

The quality of D&D pipes are outstanding and so are my Bub's.

I installed the 95" kit on my Road Glide and had a nice little TQ bump then a month or so later installed the Fatcat, serious bump in the seat O meter at 2500 to 2800 RPM can you say Big Smile!!! I have the Stealth Baffle on mine Check with Abnmarine, he had one for sell a week or so ago, looked like new, if he still has it you could save a good bit over buying new!

I like the pipe, as everyone else above says, plus it has a trick look to it.
Two into one on one side of a bagger, says performance.

I replaced my Rinehart True Duals with a Fat Cat with the quiet baffle last fall; all I can say is the Fat Cat is the sheeeiit, it sounds better, it runs better, it gets better gas mileage and it looks totally racy!!!!!!!

Sound is so subjective. I ordered and will pick up a standard baffle for my 107" and remove the quiet because while it sounds good, (nice and mellow) it really doesn't give me enough feedback. I swear at 80-90, I can't hear it at all.
