New build, Dracula pipe sounds great!
Cant wait to see how your bike pulls. 
I finally decided on engine mods.My bikes an 05 Roadking.It started life new with a stage 1 ac and Hooker slip ons,sounded nice but after riding my brother's...(aka on the forums.. Harleytuner).....bike, mine was ...well...boring as hell.I opted for Revolution 10.5:1 piston,Screamin Eagle updated cam plate and adjustable pushrods,Andrews TW55 cams,cylinders bored and head work from Roeder Racing,i wanted a different pipe......Fat Cats and Pro Pipes are everywhere around my area so i went with the Dracula from Dragos.Fuel management handled by a TTS Master Tuner.Got her back together,hit the starter....wow! This thing sounds great! We did a few heat cycles and hope to get it on the dyno at Roeder Racing for Harleytuner to set the airfuel for breakin. I'm looking forward to seeing the final numbers but,wherever the horse power and torque fall i'm sure going from a stage 1 88" to this will make the butt dyno very happy.Now for the bad news...the weather SUCKS!....Cant wait to ride this thing.The real bad part is,what do i say to the wife when she says " i thought you said it wont be much louder"? lmao!!! oh well,to late now.Thank you to my brother and best friend Chad.......aka Harleytuner.
With are baffles we try very hard to get that rich deep sounding mufflers we like the 502 big block sound very deep. Not high a raspy sound or should I say tiny....

Sound is a very subjjective thing, but I think the Dragula sounds good with out being loud enough to become obnoxious...
I'm eagerly awaiting the final tune as well, we're going to get 500 miles on it first, so weather and work schedule permitting, hopefully we will have it broken in within a few weeks.
For anyone contemplating this pipe, from what I have seen so far I would recommend it, like it was stated, sound is subjective. I like what I hear so far, at least at idle. It has a nich deep "throaty" sound to it. I don't have a good break in MAP in it yet, so it's only been run through a couple heat cycles so far. The ceramic coating on the inside and outside is top notch and the fitment and finish is **** as well! If the pipe lives up to it's reputation, i'll have a FatCat off my bike for sale in the classified is the very near future.

If the 2.55 is good to 145hp why are guys with motors that won't come close to that running the 3.05 baffle? Wouldn't that be detrimental to performance?
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these I just want to be sure I'm getting the right baffle.
Thanks,
Rick
