Default Getting Exhausted

Last year I put a set of Samson Cholo exhaust and a Baker 5 speed builders kit tranny... About 5 months ago the TC 88 spun the crank so I had a S&S 124 installed along with a Thundermax... Wow, what a difference! Got a taste of some real power. Now I want more! Looking at going with a 2 into 1 stainless exhaust and found several I like. Some are a little pricey like the Trask, Bassani and Fab 28. Then there is the Dan Moto exhaust for less than $300. I really like the look of the Dan Moto except for where they put the 02 bungs.. Looking for any input from anyone that has tried any of the 2 into 1 exhaust systems like listed above.
Thanks guys.

If you spent all that money on the 124" then don't cheap out on the exhaust. A 2-1 exhaust design will make a difference on that motor, one may work well the other may restrict that motor. I run a Dragos on my S&S 124. My builder had another bike with doing the same but he had a FatCat 2-1, the Dragos gave better low end torque.
Point is don't just go by looks.

Dan Moto is JUNK! I had a set of DM mid-pipes and slip-ons that I put on my Honda RC51 for track days in the event I laid it down (didn't want to mess up the $2,000 Sato system I had). Anyhoo, the fit and finish was absolute dog-$hit.

You will likely not feel any noticeable power increase with a new exhaust system after installing a 124" motor. It's your money, spend it how you wish.

All of that money spent on a 124, and the rest of the bike, don't cheap out on the pipe.
I have a S&S 106 kit on my RG. Went from a 2-1-2 to a Drago 2 and I could feel the difference. Bike was tuned each time on the dyno with a TTS.

Thanks for the input. Looking at Fuel Moto as they have the Trask Assault for $899. I'll check into the Dragos too!

So I would be interested to know what your numbers look like with your current exhaust, Peak torque and what is the torque at 2600-2800?
Do you have your sheet you could post from when they tuned your 124"

I
I haven't ran it on a dunk. Had the Thundermax tuner installed and she runs great.. Maybe I need to put it on a dyno? Thoughts?
