Dragula 2:1 or V&H Pro Pipe
#11
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.

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?

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.
