Default 120 R D&D Boarzilla with Ghost pipe

I want the best performance I can have with the 120 R. Is the best exhaust setup the Boarzilla?

I'm guessing women I date will absolutely hate riding with me on this setup because of how loud it will be. Is that a correct statement? Will I hate the setup after an 8 hour ride?

I want the 120R just not certain what the best exhaust to go with to have it all performance and a roar but that won't cause absolute crucial pain in my skull.

Rule of thumb with D&D exhaust is below 124" you'll get better results with the Fatcat.

Thanks! I thought the 120 R was a big enough motor for the Boarzilla. Ok so the FatCat is what I need.

I have a Vance and Hines Pro pipe hi output on my SE 120R and much prefer the sound of it to the D&D Boss fatcat that is on my Stage II 103 bike. The VH is much throatier and works very well. Also note that my bike makes 139.92 hp and 133.7 tq with this pipe.

As to the D&D pipe, lot's of SE 120R's out there running the Boarzilla and hitting 130 / 130.

Do they have a ghost pipe to go With the V&H Pro pipe? I thought I had it down to the best setup. Now back to state of wonder and second guessing. I do have the Big Radius V&H on my Fat Bob and love the low roar. Maybe I should stick with what I know and have experinced with V&H.

Bosszilla is not that loud at cruise, especially if you order it with a wrapped baffle. By no means is it quiet, but tolerable.

You need to look at Frank Drago's Dragula 2:1. It has a 3 step header, ceramic coated inside and out and baffles for up to 240 hp. (yes, I said 240!)

Frank guarantees his pipe makes more power. Can't go wrong with that!

+1 on that PFWiz! I have this pipe on my Proharged 107" putting out 195hp.I think the pipe goes for 650.00 w/interchangealbe tips too.I believe he also offers a ghost pipe for it also.The sound and performance this pipe puts out is incredible.It's deffintely worth checking out.If you go to his website DragosBikeWorks.com he has pictures and sound clips.
