Which 2into1 pipe?
Im thinking of ditching my V&H true dual head pipes and Rush mufflers for a 2into1. Ive owned Thunderheaders before .....not much in the looks department but they really work good and sound good. Heard R&Rs sound crappy but perform well and also look good. I like the V&H Pro Pipes looks but not sure about their performance or sound. Not too many around here run 2into1s......those that do.......run Thunderheaders.

I have a D&D on my 2010 Street Glide and it does well. For my 2006 Street Bob that I am putting an SE 120R engine in I am going with the Vance and Hines Pro pipe hi output.
Thunder headers sure have a following but having ridden a couple I just found them too loud for my preference.

I have had the V&H HI-Output Pro Pipe and the Thunder Header for my Dyna.
The HO Pro Pipe gives good power, but is flawed in design. Its press fit leaks badly on the back of your leg. It is a NO in my book. After a few hundred miles you will be able to see carbon where the header meets the muffler. Right behind your right heal. Everyone I have seen does this, and I have even pointed it out to Vance and Hines. The Pro Pipe and the HO Pro Pipe come from different divisions of V&H, and this was told to me by V&H management. Vance and Hines fix? Use RTV. Gimme a break.
The Thunder Header is awesome. I just had a issue after 8000 miles with a single note it put into my full face helmet. So I am taking a break from it, and put on the stock pipes with Cycle Shack mufflers. This so I could go from quite to loud in about 15 minutes.
I will be putting my TH back on if it doesn't sell. I am thinking of not to sell after all. It is a great pipe.

Thunderheaders sound awesome and D&D is a great performer, but I am in love with my Bassani Road Rage and I think it is the best of both worlds (looks and performance)...just to throw another dog in this fight.
