fuelmoto is supposed to have their own 2 into 1 available any day now...otherwise, v & h pro pipe with quiet baffles is very good.

Beside the fact that he is a member of this forum. He makes greats pipes.

I have his Dragula 2:1 (see my sig pic) Giant 2:1 pipe, ceramic coated inside and out, 3 step header, equal length pipes, with heat shields and Frank guarantees it for 2 years.

You just can't go wrong....
How do Franks pipes sound compared to a Thunderheader or a Bassani?

Fit/finish on these are...well lets just say not up to what everyone
else is putting out. Suppose to make good numbers on the dyno though. Like the FatCat.


My personal choice for 2:1 pipe
is the V&H Propipe. Looks great (to me) , quality is also great and it's the best sounding 2:1 I've ever heard(V&H Big Radius a close 2nd). Plus mine brand new was less than 550 bucks.

As for the question of how black pipes holding up...I had 10k miles on my BigShots and the finish was perfect.
I have a propipe. Chrome to a flat black collector. They look amazing and sound unreal. If you don't like loud these aren't for you

I have a Rhineheart 2 into 1 on my bike sounds great good boost in power and tourque. Had it on for 4 years now and still looks like new.

Bassani Road Rage. Reasonably priced, sound awesome, and great numbers on the dyno. I also like the Rhinehart but went with the Bassani due to the slight supposed performance gains over the Rhineharts.

I ordered my Fat Cat, with quiet baffle, through "Eastern Performance Cycles" on 11/28/2008. It was free shipping. The bill was $589.95.
That was 3 years and 3 months ago, so I doubt if they have doubled in cost since then.
I shopped around and got the best price I could find and installed it myself.
I am very happy with the fit,finish and performance of the Fat Cat.

I bought V&H 2 into 1 pro pipe on Dennis Kirk for $460 when they went on sale.
Nice power jump...little too loud for my taste though.
