From what i have heard of the B.R. 2 to 2, they sound pretty good. Anyone know about the 2 into 1's? saw one post where they replaced the 2 into 1's with 2 to 2. I am looking to get a set of the B.R. 2 into 1's for my '10 Wide Glide, but have only found one member one here who has them, and from the Youtube video, they were kind of quiet. (yes im a loud bike guy). Any one have any other experience? Right now im running slip ons, with the factory headers on my W.G, which are 2-1-2.

I've had both on my Wide Glide as the Dealer installed 2into1 the first time by accident. The 2-1 have a nice deep growl and are quieter then the 2into2s. I loved the 2into1s but they also need you to raise the right passenger peg and then trim your fender if you have the same setup (2010 Wide Glide) like I have.

stock big radius pipes with the stock baffles in are definitely not that loud at all. i removed them and put the big city thunder baffles in.....now they are loud. but big city thunder also sells "quiet" baffles which will make the bike sound like a stock typewriter again- if thats what your looking for.

I have already removed the passenger pegs. But you have to trim the fender as well?

No, the fender only hits the passenger peg. If removed, you'll have no problems.

those pegs were a pain to remove. Had to remove the belt guard to get one side off. Harder project than i had planned on! So how loud compared to the 2 to 2 are the 2 to 1's?

I did a before and after video I will try to post when there is some free time.
Burndog, I'm interested in seeing that video, have you posted it yet?

Also do the BCT QQ's replace the stock baffles or attach to the stock baffles?
In other words are there two baffles in it now?
And did you have to drill a hole in the pipes or just the stock baffle?

They replace the stock baffle & you have to drill 1 small hole in each pipe.

Burndog,
I guess I should have read the whole thread before I posted the above, anyways I saw the video, sounds great. Did the pipes have to come off to install the QQ baffles.
