    The following is a list of preferences for exhausts. I have been agonizing for a long time about whether or not to change the exhaust on my bike but I think that it is just inevitable that I must.

    The following is a list of pipes that I am interested in and they are listed in the order of my preference. Many factors are involved as why I place them in the order that I do. Here we go.....


    1. DRAGOS BIKE WORKS - 1999-2013 BAGGER MODELS*
    2.1995-2006 Harley Touring Fat Cat 2:1 Full System | D & D Exhaust
    3. SuperTrapp: Performance Exhaust

    #1) Very very Loud
    #2) Very Loud
    #3) You can make it silent or loud,, best power,
    only tuneable of the three, you ain't making a 124
    so JMO 1 and 2 are wastes of money a set of good headers
    and the slip on supertrapps will outperform the others
    or the 2-1 supertrapp,

    Two friends are running the ST 2-1 on 113 and 103's
    you can hear the radio and they have great torgue curves.

    No way can he beat the Supertrapp 2in1 pipes for sound or performance.
    Been on the dyno and had pipes.
    You can move the power band with the Disc on the supertrapp supermeg.
    You can also change the sound with the Disc
    If you ever git used to a 2in1 looks. You will feel naked with anything else

    Some of them will bust yer head open when you ride for a few hundred miles.
    The more noise seems to make more bike vibrations too.

    Supertrapps are Loud. No way.
    I ran the supertrapp supermegs for 3 yrs. They was not loud
    I ordered the 09 model supertrapp stouts for my bike.
    Its bee over a year, and they are just starting to sound better. They was so quiet it was unreal.

    I've had D&D fatcat. Great pipes, super great performance, but rattle my head with the sound.
