Stock 08 FXSTC with a D&D FatCat 2-1???
Would a D&D FatCat 2-1 pipe be to much for a stock 08 FXSTC?
I am tossing around the idea of this pipe, mainly for sound and performance, but all the bikes I have seen with this setup have all had upgrades down to their engines? 103", 107", 110" etc.
Am I a little out of my league with this pipe? Is there such thing as having to much pipe for the engine?
Thanks,

The cool thing about that D&D is that you can build into it instead of out of it.
Several guys doing mighty fine with the D&D on a stocker. Buy it. One of the best pipes on the market for sure and will certainly give you a gain over the stockers and you will have a pipe that is good in every facet of you bikes motoring life until you do a 124" uber build!

I swear everytime I look at Beau's bike I dig the D&D more & more. Just looks badass from the angle in the sig pic.
I'm convinced that my Rinehart is causing me some high RPM issues. I think the pipe goes dead flat at 5K. I dont ride above 5K very often but it sucks having a part that is acting like a Rev limiter!!
Every dyno I have looked at with mildly done 88's and 95's running Rinehart 2-1's look to have the same issue. Nice nidrange jump and great day to day ridability but simply flat up high in the RPM range.
D&D's pull everywhere. They are the shizzle for sure.
If only I didnt like the way it looked so much...Dammit!!

Beau, I have admired your bike since day one. Just something about it. Maybe it's what Chaz said, it's maybe the angle of the photo. I don't know.
But one thing, the FatCat looks killer on a FXST(C).
I think mine would look pretty sweet with that pipe.
You have a sound clip anywhere?
Do you guys know of any online stores where you could get one? They don't market their products like V&H or Rinehart so they are harder to find.

I don't have a sound clip yet. As far as finding one goes, you can order straight from D&D, or check eBay. I paid $650 for mine locally....Could've got it from Eastern Performance Cycles via eBay for $595, but chose to help a local guy out. I'll see if I can get a sound clip uploaded later tonight.

hey chaz what about a black t-header....
My gut tells me that the Rinehart was designed to shine Vs' a stock setup with just an AC and a remap.
It just gives up the ghost at 4800. Blap falls on its face. My BSS pulled a little farther not much so maybe its a cam and headwork issue. Something to resolve over the winter......
