Default D&D fat cat ?

I need to re dyno my 08 ultra 103 build, it's running warm and needs to be tweaked after v-scan. Since I'm doing the dyno I figure it's time to put on a set of Fat cat 2:1 Louvered Baffle. Wondering how much tq and hp I could get from switching from 2:2 bub 7 exhaust to 2:1 exhaust. A buddy told me it may be 5-8 tq and hp. Is this the norm.
Thanks
Also changing out woods tw7h to the Andrews 54s. Then I vow to leave alone. I hope!

I'm partial to the Dragula from Dragos, guaranteed better pipe. Try giving Frank a call and see what you think.

Thanks guys, fat cat it is. Same buddy had them on a 103 build with Andrews 37 cams did like the sound. Medium baffle think its the Louvered Baffle. Sweet sound. Had a little less compression then me 10:1 where I'm 10.2:1. Should be nice.

FatCat was the worst sounding pipe I've ever had. BY FAR! Lots of people like the hollow tinny sound with decel cackle, hell some even convince themselves it doesn't sound that way, I wasn't one of em.

FC makes good peak #'s but the V&H Propipe whips it's *** from idle to 3k. My PP make 15 ftlbs more tq to 3k and loss 6 tq for peak. Same for the hp. Stronger to 3k for the PP and a loss of 4 peak hp.

Like I've said in many a thread, I can feel where the PP is stronger and can't tell where it's not. But if you've already drank the D&D kool aid...I hope you like it. I didn't!
