Bert,
I have a black pearl sg too and I am torn between the chrome fatcat and a black powdercoated version. Yours looks really sharp with the chrome, what do you think about the black on the black pearl, which we know is not really black at all.

I ran a D & D on my last bike quality good , sound poor , performance good but no better than other 2 into 1's, on my current bike I went with the Bassani Road Rage II , I like the looks , performance and sound better than the D & D , they will be releasing a ghost pipe for the RR II shortly

Personally I like the chrome. Those wheels look cool, who makes them?

x 2 on the Bassani Road Rage II- I came real close to getting them, but I decided to stick with the 2-1-2 headpipe. They are equal length stepped headers, and look real good to me. Check out their website for some video clips- I think they sound great, and they are bound to perform well, as they have for TJ.
Two things I don't like about the D&D- I heard the newer version (for the 2009+) doesn't make the same power, maybe due to the extra bends in them. Number 2 is I just heard one on a dyno last week, and sorry, but it just has a weird sound to it.

Bassani, Thunderheader, or the Bub7 2-1. I had the D&D before and that sucker was just too raspy sounding for me. My friends said it sounded like an old truck with glass packs. Not my kind of sound. Made good power though. I picked up 10hp and 10tq.
