Believe it or not, my local HD dealer could get it for the best price, not sure who they ordered it from though.

i feel that the 2-1 just doesnt "sound" right.
2-2 has that bump bump sound. the other sounds to much like a hot rodded car!

I heard a D&D the other day on a 2007 FLHX and it sounded like total crap. They might have good performance, but the sound is less than pleasing. Thunderheader or bassani.

D & D "Fat Cat" is probably used more than any other for a combination of good power, looks and cost. All I can really give is my experience and that is I gained 8 HP and 10 ft.lbs. of Tq. when I changed from a Samson "Calibre" 2 into 1 to a RB Racing, I will also say that the Samson was far better than the HD Screamin Eagle duals that I startd with. I do have a good bit of engine work ie: Heads, JIMS cylinders, 10.5 CR, Cams, etc., etc.

I have tried EVERY 2-1 made on my ol 08............LSR 2-1 made the most power!!! Gonna order one for my Ultra Limited this week!!!

Dont know what the BEST is, but I have no complaints with my Black Fatcat. I think the fact that your considering a 2-1 is a step in the right direction performance wise.
Had a guy tell me the other day,
"I hate those 2-1 pipes, your bike doesnt even sound like a harley"
I just smiled and replied
"thats ok, it doesnt run like one either"
