I just want to do this one more time. Time is limited and I'm running out of money.
$9200.....Is closer to the truth.

Right on.....It's funny. When you Utube, 98% of the Boarzilla sound clips are what I'm looking for. Safe to say, those guys are making the numbers. Fatcat is more or less like everyone else. Baffle choice & h/p are surely what makes the difference.

Here's 2 S&S 124" LC crates I just finished up a couple months ago. The red line is with a Fatcat (the customer had this on the bike from the previous build) and the blue line is with a Dragula II from Drago's Bike Works. D&D recommends the Borzilla for anything over 120" (as you already know). My experience is that the Borzilla will make bigger HP numbers but will give up a little TRQ on the low end.
As someone said earlier the 120ST comes with a 1 year warranty. That is true as long as you use the SE Street Tuner with it. The S&S 124" crates come with a 2 year warranty.

So, after very careful review.....It makes dollars & sense to go 120" and be done.
By building a 103" motor. The possibility of catastrophic failure is more likely, then just to upgrade to a 120".
120" is going to cost in the $8500 range. Minus the sale of my 103". So total about $6500.
107" build would be in the same neighborhood.
Builders like to build as Picasso likes to paint. Giving Picasso a paint by numbers kit is not fun .
There seems to be a couple different D & D exhausts. Their newest being their muffler with the billet tip?
utubing everything leads me to believe the Boarzilla is the absolute nastiest of the bunch.
as it's been stated earlier...... Horsepower dictates sound. Can't put a Boarzilla on a stock 103" and expect miracles......
Jim, we have talked. The madness will never go away. It's something we must live with........ Joe

In truth.....Numbers mean very little to me. 128-135? I can't tell. Lol! But like you, sound it very important. With good power the Boarzilla is completely different than anything I've heard. That doesn't mean the f.c. or b.c. is not. I just can't buy all of them to find out which? When I already know Boarzilla is sick.
I will need to make a decision in the next two/three weeks.
Absolutely love the looks of the b.c. product. It's what I want from an appearance standpoint. Just need to verify sound quality.

I am the owner of the bike with the red line that Wide Open Cycle posted. I agree with everything sbates and folks said, the pipe will change depending on the build. I had my Dragula on my 107" build and wasn't all that crazy about the sound. I liked it, but it was just OK. Was thinking of a different pipe when I did the S&S 124". Luckily I decided to wait and see how it sounded on the 124. Sounds badazz now, when I fired it up for the first time at the shop I was like wow! Love the sound now.
I would opt for the S&S 124 before the 120, but just my opinion.

Done.....Called D&D just now. Boarzilla is the only thing they have to offer when motor is over 113" With either a wrapped baffle or non.
You can opt for the billet slip on. Same design internals as Boarzilla. See, that was easy.
Only problem.....D&D won't interchange or allow a chrome headpipe with a black muffler. Or visa versa. Which sucks......
