Finally getting ready to pull the trigger on exhaust for my '15 SGS. I've decided on the D&D Fatcat, black, slant cut with perforated wrapped baffle.


I plan on doing stretched bags and fender from Topshop (OEM stretch and Minister fender) later on and can't decide between doing bags/fender with dual cut outs or right side only. I've seen a few pics online or right side only, and I dig it; just not sure I'd dig it on MY bike.


So the question of the day is to ghost pipe, or not to ghost pipe? Please post your $0.02 in the poll.


Here are a few pics of the bike as it sits now for those of you who are visual like myself:

This is going to be a very opinionated thread...i'm sure you know.My personal opinion is if you do the 2-1 and can get the bags in a single cut-out I would go that route. The ghost pipe will add more money and weight to your ride that is completely useless. Now, another option to throw out there is D&D has a new 2-1-2 header pipe that will allow you to run the duals with the advantage of a 2-1 pipe. A lot of exhaust companies are making these and D&D is in the game now, which has my interest if it can be tuned better than my power duals.

Yeah, I know...and I hear what you're saying.


I did see the 2-1-2 system, but I'm not interested in going that route. I was going to do the FM header and the D&D slip-ons, but after talking to D&D, I won't get that sound I fell in love with.

No ghost pipe - excess weight and cost -
