I installed the V&H ProPipe and it does sound good. I will be getting the Dragula 2:1 next week (both I brought here on the Forum) and will install that and then compare. I'm leaning towards the black Dragula 2:1. I have heard all good things about this exhaust. I will have 2 sets of exhaust to sell after I decide which I like best... my V&H Dresser Duals w/Monster Oval and either the V&H ProPipe chrome or Dragula 2:1 black.

I'm running the Dragula performs, looks & sounds great. I also went with the ghost pipe option in order to make the bike look balanced.

There's really no comparison.I have both exhaust's the V&H pipe is a POS in all aspects compared to the Dragula.

Have the Dragula, love the hell out of the sound and it performs much better than the home made (fulsac) duals I was using.

What B.S. They are basically the same pipe. V&H Chrome Propipe is a 2 step header (1 3/4 to 1 7/8) while the Dragula is a 3 step header (1 3/4 - 1 7/8 - 2) the same as the V&H Propipe High Output. Then the baffle is different and the Propipe is easy to modify to tuning by drilling the end cap. Stock 96" - leave end cap alone. Stage 1 96" and stock 103" drill end cap 7/8" and stage 1 103" drill end cap 1 1/8". Stage 2 bikes with cam remove end cap. That easy. Different engine sizes and tuning require different pipes. A Dragula is designed for a mild to wild engine and will perform poorly on a stock 96". What engine did you do a back to back comparison with tuning?

Really? Talking about B.S. info. And you have proof of this right?

The same as a Pro Pipe HO you are absolutely out of your mind.That ProPipe HO is so friggin hot it's uncomfortable to ride even wrapped been there.The Dragula is ceramic coated inside and out the HO is not.The Dragula has a 1yr. warranty the HO does not. The Dragula has a performance guarantee {the only pipe in the industry}the HO does not.The sound is muffled sounds like crap.Performance is not even close.I've got both of them I dont have to tell you which pipe is hanging on the garage wall.The Dragula performs actually very well with the smaller baffle on a stock motor.

2" primary tube is too big for stock motors below 110". Ask any tuner. Unless stage 2 110" or a 120R" or bigger the bottom end torque will suffer. BTW, their smallest baffle of 2.3" is larger than the end cap of the Propipe. Dragulas guarantee is on same dyno with same tuner and same baffle size. Trial and error on different size engines with different size baffle drill outs.
