All three come with 2 year warranty
dual 02 bungs
Ceramic coat inside out 4mls total
Chrome or black heat shields
Uniy slash tip or straight tip

The Dragula is a straight up race pipe when I first did this. So many people wanted for it looks of a big fat looking 2:1 pipe. But it only had a 3.05 baffle.
So I cam up with our 2.55 so others could run this pipe on smaller engines.

The Dragula is a 3 step header
1.75-1.875-2.00 to a 2.55 collector than a 4.05 muffler body
Baffle choice 2.55 or 3.05
Baffle 2.55 Supports 80 hp to 145 hp
Baffle 3.05 Supports 120 to 280 hp

The difference between the S/C/S std and S/C/S-4 is the muffler body for baggers only.


The S/C/S std has a 3.5 muffler body and we make this one for all models
99-2012 baggers
99-2012 softail
99-2012 dyna
99-2012 sporty's

The Dragos S/C/S STD AND -4
equal length heades 1.75 to a 2.50 collector
with a 3.5 muffler or 4inch muffer.
Baffle choice for 3.5 muffler is 2.05-2.28-2.55
Baffle choice for 4.0 muffler is 2.55-3.05 race baffle
The S/C/S STD will handle power from 65-180 hp with just a baffle change.
The S/C/S- 4 will handle power from 75-185 hp with just a baffle change.

Dragula is $650.00 Chrome or Black
Dragos s/c/s std is 560.00 Chrome or Black
Dragos s/c/s-4 is 625.00 Chrome or Black

We offer a 10 ten performance gaurantee on any 2:1 in its class
You have to tune on the same dyno with in ten days.
If our pipe make less power will give you your money back. Just send us the pipes.

Frank, I think you answered this before for me, but just for the benefit of all, the Dragula also has an equal length head pipe, right?

Actually now that I look at the pictures, I'm confused- the Dragula looks like it would be an equal length headpipe because of the "s" bend for the rear cylinder's pipe, but the description doesn't say it is equal length.

When you look at the pics for the SCS-4, the rear cylinder pipe looks shorter (no "s" bend), yet it's description said it is equal length?

The only other differences I see is that the Dragula has 3 steps, and the SCS-4 has 2, plus the SCS-4 has a slightly smaller collector and muffler body.

Franks pipes are already much less $$ than other pipes in its class and you get the ceramic to boot. The prices he listed are on sale prices and with the guarantee of more power and the 2 year warranty, I don't see how you could go wrong. The man has put his own blood, sweat and tears into products that he stamps his name on because he designed it from front to back. He can't give the stuff away.

Of corse very simple rules
1. Same dyno
2. Same bike.
3. 10 days after receiving to prove.
have not lost yet.
thanks.
The biggest problem I have with this is that I didn't see this thread before I installed D&D 2/1s. I could have saved $300 and got ceramic coating (and maybe better performance). Looks like great stuff. You'll sell me my next pipe.

The Dragula 3 step header Equal legnth.
1.75-1.875-2.00 to 2.55 collector with 4.05 muffler

Dragos S/C/S Std equal length header to a 2.5 collector with a 3.5 muffler body Look at how low the headers sit they are low straighten them out there the same.

Dragos S/C/S-4 Equal length header 1.75 to a 2.5 collector to a 4 inch muffler. For Baggers only.

The S/C/S & S/C/S-4 use the same header. Just different muffler body.
(Baggers only use same header for 07/2012) above.

Drago, how about a 2-1-2 setup for the earlier models like an 05 electraglide??? I don't do ghost pipes but want two functioning pipes out the back for a balanced look.

To answer your question we are getting ready to build one. Design done
Need to build one and test.

Here is my idea It will be a 3 step header just like the Dragula a little different. Then it willl have the pipe come out from the bottom like the factory but it will be full round pipe. Then it will have the left side pipe.

Here is the twist it will be removable left side. So the pipe will turn into a 2:1 for racing.

It will be like the Dragula with the option to have a left side pipe not a ghost pipe. And you can order with left side or with out or add it on later. And when you remove the left side it will have a cap to cover the crossover under the trans.

The pipe will be 1.75 -1.87 -2.00 to a collector 2.55. Then it will go to 4.05 mufflers.
Right side muffler will have 2.55 or 3.05
left side will have 1.78 all the to 2.55
Ceramic coat inside total 4mls
Uniy tip or straight tip.
Black or chrome with heat shields.


You will be able to go from 2;1;2 or 2;1 in 10 min. comments....... please....Thanks,

What do you guys think.... I have applied for patten today.
