Default v&h Pro pipe

like the title says v&h pro pipe has a great sound plus you get rid of that cat header at the same time. I had a set of vance slip ons put on my rgu when I bought it and have rode it for about 7 months that way. Wasnt pleased with sound at all nor the power. Switched it out and have been tuning it myself. Cams are next for me. good luck

I have the V&H Power Duals(2-1-2) with Rush mufflers w/2" baffles, the SE air cleaner and a HD flash map and it sounds great to me! Exactly what I was looking for....a nice rumble at idle.....growls nicely when rolling on the throttle, and yet at highway speeds I can still hear my radio. I have to say that I am very pleased with the Rush mufflers!

I saw the American Custom guys http://www.americancustom.com/ up at Daytona last month while I was getting my Rineharts worked on and I was really impressed by the sound of their pipes. They rework the factory pipes so you still have to EPA stamp on them for Noise ordinance issues if that is a concern in your area. They have some sound bites down on the bottom and are reasonably priced and they will buy your factory pipes as well. If I was looking for some new pipes I would sure consider them. As a side note, I have the Rinehart True duels with the 3 1/2" mufflers with the 2 1/2" performance baffles and the sound great at idle but really sound off when you get on them.

I looked into those Dragula works 2 into 1. They sounded louder than thunder header and claim more power for less money. Sounds like a no brainier. anyone else heard of these or had personal experience with them?

I put the Drago's 2-1 on my Rk along with alot of motor work. The pipe looks and sounds awsome. Loud when you want it to be but tames down at cruising speed. I have an after market fairing and can hear my stereo just fine. This pipe barks nice when you want it to. Frank, The owner of Drago's bike works is a pretty cool dude give him a call.
