Just throwing this out there for the VH Pro-pipe. I like the sound and power but there is a bracket cracking issue. I don't know if the 110 shakes more, but the weight of the Pro-Pipe is up there. I've welded mine up and so far it's holding. The Pipe has about 2200miles on it.

That Cobra has a nice look to it!
I will say something I think is interesting is from reading though topics, both the Sportster guys and Touring guys just tend to do Slip-ons. It's interesting that Dyna guys won't even consider them. What I get confused about is seeing the results the Sportster guys get with just slip ons vs when they do a full exhaust.
These guys doing professional tests got 93hp and 117 torque with a pair of Rush slip ons vs 89hp and 117 torque (with a much lower low end torque curve) from a TBR, and that bike had better heads.

This is why I'm not ready to just swap in a full exhaust. Least just for power sake. A full set of pipes on a 2:1 might be lighter, so that's something to consider, and there is the sound difference too. But if we're talking just performance? Well... I feel like there are assumptions that need to be challenged. Since I can't buy a new exhaust just yet, might as well play Myth Busters, lol.

Supertrapp supermeg.
Build quality, performance, sound, clearance, is all good.
Some don't like the look of a long exhaust but the length helps create torque down lower for better use on the street, which probably doesn't matter too much with 117 cubes
Having said that I love the sound of the thunderheader, but I know the noise would annoy me eventually and it would attract bad attention from neighbours and the law
