    I'm doing a 98 inch big bore, head work, power commander, and gear drive woods cam on my 88" E'Glide. Trying to decide on a good exhaust, any suggestions on who makes the best 2 into 1?
    I've got good suggestions here before.
    Thanks, Chuck

    Rinehart or Vance and Hines are also very good choices.

    I went the root the HP article recommended on my 06 88" - I went with Kerker slip-ons, good sound and a little more flow. That with SE203 cams and a remap has run real good for last 3 yrs! I'm also getting 95" kit done now and will stick with stock headers and my Kerkers, just for the fact it is a good standard set-up for tuning! Even without a tuner you can re-map your HD ecm to run this set-up nicely!
    Don't think I could get used to my dressor with a single pipe if I was to go 2-1 but I've heard they are better for tuning than a true dual which is the hardest to get tuned exactly "your" way! Which is a give & take you have to decide on - low end torque or high end cruisin speed. Me I like smokin the rice burners of the light so you can guess what way mine will be set-up :cool:

    When you say best exhaust how far does that go.
    Do you want the best, Best sounding, best performance or do you still want to hear yer radio ?
    This is upto you.

    The best pipes that will dyno out will be Bassani 2in1. But they are pretty loud

    then probaly D&D Fatcat 2in1 with the quiet baffle. they ain't as loud as the Bassani

    Thunderheader does good, but blue pretty easy. And poor customer service

    Then Supertrapp, You can control some of the noise with the Supertrapp and make them a little quieter.

    And it comes down to on long rides how much thump can her head stand....

    Thanks for the input. I'm thinking about keeping my stock header pipes with the Rush slip-on mufflers. That'll save me about $700. Maybe change it later.

    I did that a few years ago. Rush makes some good pipes.
    Mine stayed on about 3 months before I sold them.

    Rush are very good slip on mufflers. You can usually expect to get about 5 HP gain just doing the slip on route.
