I spoke to the guys at Rush, nice group of guys for sure. They recommended the Wrath with my set up. 96" w/ TW222's.

Said to go with the 2.5" baffle. Asked about the compression as well and he said the Wrath is a torque monster and will pull till the cows come home.

As far as the sound they asked how loud I wanted, from a scale of 1-10. I said 7, go with the 2.5" baffle was their recommendation.

 

I ordered a Dragula 1 from Frank with the 2.5 baffle. Can't wait till I get it here and on. Frank's words to me: "It's got a deep mellow sound cruising but when you twist the throttle EVERYONE will know you are around."

 

So the marketing video I've seen said of the wrath ; 110 or bigger ci and min 10.5 comp
And now a 96ci at 9.2 comp is supposed to be ideal too? Something is fishy.

 

Just put a V&H Pro Pipe on my '15 RGS. I've been looking at most of the 2-1's. I'm not into loud, at all, and that has eliminated a few right off.

I had originally been looking at D&D Fatcat, but it's almost $400 more, so that was the end of that.

I did, though, spend the extra $90 for the "quiet" baffle. I had already heard the stock baffle, and really, really liked the tone, but it was louder than I wanted. I knew the quiet baffle wasn't really quiet, just quiet-"er".

Already had a high flow air cleaner, put on the Pro Pipe, started with the quiet baffle, and a SEPST smart tune. Wow did this thing pull more than when it was stock. The HO motor is terrific! That's the good news. Bad news: hated the sound. Hated. That annoying high-pitched rappy sound. Irritating. Plus, although I had heard that there really shouldn't be a significant difference in performance in normal riding, it turns out that the quiet baffle really chokes the motor. Did I mention I hated the sound?

So, put the stock baffle in, re-tuned it, and holy crap. Pulls like a monster all the way to 6,000 rpm. Seriously, if I run it to 6k in first, and then nail it into second, I can feel the front end getting light.

Yes, it's a bit louder than I wanted, but it sounds great, and even better...at 70 mph in 6th, it's almost lost in the background wind noise. Not a problem at all. So, as long as I idle my way out of the neighborhood, it's all good! Did a 150 mile loop today, and including a quarter tank around town, and some fun runs through the gears, 40 mpg. Sweet!

 

I'm only telling you what the guys at Rush told me.

 

Remember they are in the business of sales and that pipe probably costs more than other 2-1. The primaries end up at 2 inches and the collector is oversized and even sticking to the 2.5 baffle wouldn't help the need for this pipe to have more compression. I'm just thinking the low end would come off softer than a stock designed 2-1 pipe. If those performance fine points are not an issue for you then go ahead and go for it if the pipe is your favorite, and good news is if you build the motor down the road......you already have the right pipe.

 

I know, my research with the stepped 2:1 headers and my set up said the standard would be my best bet. I was surprised too when they said the Wrath. But like I said they are not producing them anymore. That's not to say they can't be had on Amazon and Ebay. Also same thing with the Drago, (also made by Rush) his standard 2:1 is no longer in service.

Best solution I think for me is going to be build up to a 107 w/ the correct cams and compression.

Why delay the inevitable!

 

I have the Wrath and it is awesome. My bike is a 103 though but that pipe will work with anything. I think the guy's at Rush just wanted to be cautious when they 1st made the Wrath but after seeing it used in a lot of different builds they saw the other pipe was no longer needed. Also you can go with a smaller baffle if your build needs that.
