Exhaust Delima

Okay guys.... I am having a hard time deciding on exhaust. Always thought I wanted Black Rinehart True Duals but im not so sure anymore. Been reading a lot on here about 2:1 being better and about a lot of people liking the Fatcat 2:1.

What does everyone like and why? Will definitely be black

Thanks guys!

for performance, 2 into 1 is better. I like my V&H 2 into 2. I love the sound.

I have the new style V&H Pro Pipe on my 2010 Street Glide. It is a great looking pipe and it sounds absolutely wicked. It comes in Chrome and Black, your choice. Like others have mentioned, I understand the engine performs better with a 2-1 exhaust. And the 2010 S.G.'s come with a 2-1 exhaust, so I wanted to stay with it. Kinda specific to the 2010's.

Hey bwiser,

What year bike you have?
Where do you like the noise level?
Do you rank performance number one?

This will help others as they chime in.

I was on that fence, and I went with the D&D fat cat! Still waiting for it!

Its on 07 SG Pearl Black Stock Engine

I like sound but also dont want to have the neighbors bitching at me when I come home later at night

Wouldnt say performance is number one definitely want a good looking pipe too. Kind of bothers me that the Fatcat covers the 6-speed cover but not a deal breaker at all

If it were me, I'd cross off the true duals and look at a 2-1-2 setup if you want the dual look. I'd then consider the Fatcat or some of the many good performing 2-1-2 setups available based on the sound and look you want. The performance difference between a good 2-1 vs a good 2-1-2 setup will be marginal and you may only be able to tell the difference on a dyno and not by your butt. Check out Fuel Moto as they have several posted dyno sheets using 2-1-2 setups that show impressive gains.

V&H Pro Pipes sound awesome but the SuperTrapp Supermeg is very tunable. I run 16 disks w/a closed end cap because I wanted it quiet. If you want more sound or top end power, you can choose an open end cap. I like having the option to adjust things. I'm 100% happy with it.
