Default exhaust question

my father is looking at buying an 08 street glide w/ a T-man 103 stage 3 kit on it, 590 cams, 58 mm TB, roller rockers, supertuner...the works.

The bike has D&D Fat Cat 2-1 pipes now, but he is not a fan of the 2-1 look... any suggestions on a true dual set that would work well with the current motor setup?
Money not a big issue, dont want to spend more than a grand if possible...

Also, previous owner put S&S filter in stock air cleaner housing--we think.
Suggestions on good looking Hi-Flo open design cleaner?
I have a Doherty Powerpac on my softail, and love it. He is thinking about that route, still shopping..

Thanks for the help.

The Doherty is great. He might want to hang on to the Fat Cat...just in case.

Rinehart's are good. V&H Dresser Duals w/ Hi-Output slip-ons are good too.

I have the powerpac in my softail as well but when it came time to do the same with my bagger I went with the Arlen Ness chrome backplate. $118 with filter and free shipping. Same performance at a fraction of the price.

Ha!
I guess I should have said---the previous owner had a set of Reinharts on it before the D&D's.. Took em off at the recommendation of the tuner at the dealership, in an effort trying to get more power--based on the dyno tuning. We dont know what happened to them.

I know this because we were given copies of all the of the work orders from the dealership.

thx

My preferred method as you can change looks or sound by switching mufflers with ease. But then I am just set in my ways that dressers look best with dual exhaust.

That being said, have read 100's of times on here that the MAX hp/torque is going to be made with 2-1 pipes. If maximum power is an issue might want to check with a local trusted or reputable tuner, assuming Dad is going to switch pipes and have the SEPST re-tuned.

I went w/Bub-7 TD's on my 09 FLHX and really like the sound over my former Rineharts. More cackle & deeper roar...

I didn't (wouldn't) believe it before, but my dyno proved it. The "Vance & Hines Power Duels" header do increase hp and tq.
