Looking at new pipes for my new Road Glide.
Can't decide...
Rinehart 2:1
OR
D&D Fatcat

Went to D&D's site...saw NO Fatcat for the '09 models.
Did see the Boss model.

Is this correct for the '09???

 

For 2009 the fatcat 2-1 is now the fatcat boss. Very different pipes than before...

Header length is a little longer and has 2 bends prior to feeding into the muffler. That was done to to ensure clearance with the wider rear-end.

2 baffle options....perforated and perforated wrapped. Quality is still very good. 2 1/2" baffle is a little too open for my build...I'm not getting the back pressure I wanted so for my tune and build (103 stgII) I'll probably change these out later.

I have the ghost pipe too...

 

phattey, can you post some pics of your D&D Boss?

 

Will get some shots over the weekend...

 

How does the new boss sound? Does it drown out the radio at cruise speed? Considering it for my 09 FLHX but no one around me has one I can hear.

 

I'm finding out that exhaust info for a 09 bagger is scarce. I'd like to see and hear a D&D Boss.

 

The fit and finish is good, they do look good. However, if you're used to the deep rich sound of a rinehart or a bub7 these may not be your cup of tea. They're much more raspy and tiney than those other pipes.
