Thanks Frank...This is how all companies should be....great customer service and product support. I will return the black tip when the chrome one arrive.

 

Your welcome

 

I'm selling some goodies laying around the house so I can buy my Dragula.

Can't wait.

 

Why don't you drill the end cap 15/16" or 1 1/8" and see for yourself the performance gain without torque loss. The smaller size with baffle holes is equal to the 1 3/4" primary and the larger with baffle holes is equal to 1 7/8" primary. I would go larger with your setup. Is louder without pops. Most are pleased with this mod as stock 96/103 is good for stock baffle and the HIgh Output pipe is too large for 103 stage 1 and 2 bikes.

 

Joe do you have a solution for the heat issues? I tried heat shields, I tried wrapping them.Should I try both?

 

I would try the heat shields made that your H.O. pipe. Can't imagine why it would be any hotter than a chromed pipe with heat shields.

 

Any pics of the dragula on your bikes?

 

You can see my Dragula in my sig pic.

 

I finally ended up keeping the Dragula 2:1 as you can see from my signature picture. I haven't had a chance to test ride it much since installing it yesterday. It's not as loud as the V&H's Pro Pipe but that is most likely due to I have the 2.30 baffle installed...but its sounds nice....when idle nice deep rumble...turn the throttle and it will bark. Haven't felt any loss of low end torque as some has said you will with a 96 or 103 engine. Exhaust looks good and constructed well. I will get back and let you know more after riding it a bit. If you are on the fence about buying this exhuast with your 96 or 103...I would buy it but, get the 2.30 baffle you won't be dissapointed.

 

Any comparison in decibels to the propipe? I'm looking for a quieter pipe than the Propipe. It was suggested that I get the Dracula with the 2.55 baffle.
Thanks
