Default Bub 2 into 1 System

I've been leaning towards the Bub 7 2 into 1 system for my 2010 FLTRX, but their site doesn't list the FLTRX as a bike it fits. The exhaust is listed as fitting the Street Glide, and I thought the Road Glide and Street Glide were pretty close that year.

Just replaced mine on the Dyna, cracked head pipe, had broken support bracket twice. I put on another Fatcat, no worries now.

Chrome on my Bub 7 True Duals is already flaking after 2.5 years. Really like the pipes but weary of their chrome.

To answer the OP's question, the exhaust will fit FLHX/FLTRX but apparently Bub has some QC issues.

Liked the looks of the Bub, and the stealership was recommending them. Quality would be a major issue for me. Bikes are expensive enough without having to plan on replacing pipes over and over again. I'll have to see what other 2-1 systems I'd like. Liked the ProPipe on my older bike, but the new one doesn't do anything for me.

I had a BUB on my metric bike and I was dissapointed in the quality and since you may be looking into feedback on the pipes I would pass. I've always found V&H to be a good quality pipe and woulda went that way if there was an application for my old metric. Pick what you want but i'd stay away from the BUB..Mho

Hey MB did you mean your stock header pipe cracked on you twice or you had BUBs on there and they cracked twice?

The black rear steel bub mounting bracket snapped twice, the L bracket on trans twice and then the header pipe cracked on my ride to Cali. Stock exhaust was fine. I have a few pics I can send you, they are too big to upload and I don't know how to re-size. When I say the header cracked I actually mean it snapped all the way through.

Look at the SuperTrapp 2:1
Same parent company, no quality issues.
