Default chrome pro pipe on 2011 FLHTK?

Currently have Jackpot slip ons with quiet baffles, would like to eliminate the cat and gain some power from a tuned head pipe as well. With the extra length of the V & H pro pipe, I thought it might tune to the rpm I ride in better, 1800 to 5500. They also offer a quiet baffle and for both it looks like I can get them for about $572 shipped. I do not care if I only have the single pipe, just need it quiet enough, like the slip ons, but tuned for mid range and low speed over top end. Any one have a direct comparison or experience?

I think to get the full benifit of a 2-1 pipe,a dyno tune would be needed.

Had one on my 95" built '06 Road Glide.The pipe was a little loud.

Quiet and Pro Pipe dont go together. I've had both (Por Pipe and Jackpots, as well as others).

Tune to the pipe, not pipe to the tune.

Get the pipe you want and tune accordingly. If you want quiet, dont look at the PP!!!
