Default I can't decide on pipes

Gtoaksnob,

I had a set of rineharts attached to a set of Bassani Headers. I liked the sound, but the rineharts helped to cause a loss of power on my FLHTCU (Ultra Classic). I switched to Thunder Headers 2-1 with a false pipe. Jumping up to 98 hp/122 tq. I have used the TH's on two other Harleys owned in the past. They sound great and perform very well. If I had to do it again, or differently, I would go with the D&D Fatcats with false pipe and baffle, they are hot!

I suggest you look at listen too, and ride a bike having each model a you are considering. Don't just make a final decision based on what other people say. Look at the stats from the pro's as well. Each set up has its own personality.

Good luck,
BD.
