Default Down to 3 now to Decide

Not a lot of guys in my area running 2 into 1 exhausts on touring bikes. So I've narrowed it down to 3 exhaust systems in my price range. Performance should be close on all 3 I imagine. I'm looking for first hand/ear input on volume difference of the 3. Yes, I want the loudest of the 3, but do put build quality and performance up there to.

: Bike is a 2011 Road Glide. Will be getting Fuel Moto micro tuner and Arlen Ness Big Sucker stage 1 w/ cover at the same time as exhaust.

V&H Pro-Pipe Black with Standard baffle
Rush 2 into 1 Bagger Exhaust Black 2.5 inch Baffle (not the wrath system)
Cobra Power Pro 2 into 1 Black

Both the V&H and Rush can be had for a hair above $620 while the Cobra is all over ebay for around $520.

Any help/opinions would be awesome

Previous exhaust was stock head pipe with CFR knock offs. Sounded good but want more volume and performance.
Only future mod maybe cams/head work next winter......

Got a standard Rush 2 into 1 with 2.25 baffle at Powersports.net for $518.00 shipped. Only got 1 ride before the snow, pulled good up to about 90 mph.

Why not the Wrath?

I'm researching 2:1 set up's also. I spoke to the folks at Rush and they told me their standard 2:1 set up is being discontinued.

You can get the V&H pro pipe on ebay for $582.97 and free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vance-Hines-...pVsV2O&vxp=mtr or here same price http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vance-Hines-...cAAOSwiCRUk0Qo
If you go with the pro pipe and want it louder go with the competition baffle.

From what I read the Wrath would not run well with my stock compression ratio, just going stage 1 with no plans for comp bump or cam.

I have read that the Wrath is too big for your build, is better with a big motor and big cams.
The Rush is ceramic coated, is the ProPipe?

If it was me, I would probably go with the Rush, 2.5 baffle; it's the closest you'll get to the Drago Dragula, if you like that pipe.

Everything I've read has the Rush Wrath being used on bigger builds, plus at $150 dollars more then the regular Rush Bagger system you're getting into thunder header and D&D type money. More then the Dragula form Drago.

Any body heard or seen the 2 into 1 from Cobra. All the pipes I've ever seen from Cobra look top notch.

The pipe has to be Black for my application.

Out of these 3 pipes -
V&H seems to be most popular
Rush is ceramic coated inside and out
Cobra can't find any rear info / sound bytes.

Anybody heard the pro-pipe with standard baffle next to the Rush 2 - 1 with 2.5 inch baffle.

I put the Vance and Hines Pro Pipe (silver) on my Heritage this fall. Love the look and the sound. Do not have too many miles on it yet, but that one gets my vote.

Check out the Bassani 2-1 pipes. Great sound and finish. Sounds even meaner when you remove the baffle wrap.
