I doubt the stock 2 into 1 gave any performance improvements, too me it was just for looks. I too like the dual look and glad its back. If I wanted 2-1 I'd get a ghost pipe also.

It'd be interesting to see if there really is a performance difference Year over Year.

Anyone that buys a Harley and says they care more about performance than looks is in serious, serious, deep denial.

The Street Glide has always been a fashion statement, hardly a true touring bike.

BUT IT SURE IS PRETTY WITH TWO PIPES STICKING OUT THE *** END.

In the head pipe where they go into one pipe. Here's one cut in half.

I beg to differ. I changed the winshield to a flip top, pumped some air in the rear shocks added some detachables and I find the Street Glide to be an excellent touring bike. Suits me just fine. Riding this bike to Nova Scotia from Vermont makes me appreciate it all the more as a tourer as compared to riding my Dyna or Heritage Softail in the past. No comparison. Oh and for the record, the Vance and Hines 2-1 Pro pipe changes everything!

your crazy.... My wife and I love the Street Glide. We ride to Daytona twice a year, to the mountains twice a year and are planning a cross country trip. The SG IS a popular bike, not so sure about the fashion statement thing - like i said, im not concerned about that.
