I have the V&H Pro Pipe on my 2011 RK. It is a great performer and very deep bass note. I would liken the sond to a big block Chev. I would recommend this pipe. I love it!

Thanks again for the info. I still have some emails out to V&H and Bassani. I think I have narrow narrowed my decision down to the Fat Cat, Pro Pipe or Road Rage. Leaning heavy on the Fat Cat.

Well, after emailing different companies and reading through tons of owner opinions, I have narrowed my decision down to the D&D Fat Cat or the FM 2-1 pipe. My issue now deciding between the 2 pipes is I googled dyno sheets with similar setups as I will be running and the Fat Cat is about 5hp and 5tq less than the FM pipe. My goal is to get my tq #'s up to 100 and the Fat Cat gets close but always 3-5 ft lbs short. I know each dyno is gonna be different but looking through the sheets I am using the highest #'s I found.

i have 2012 Ultra Classic with supertrapp supermeg that was dyno'd by FM.

my numbers are similar to the chart at the top:
104 tq / 85 hp but my line stays above 100 and doesnt start to drop until about 4100.

I also had it dyno'd with VH Pro Pipe and those numbers were lower: 86 tq / 73hp

I had the ThunderHeader 2:1 and switched to the SuperTrapp 2:1 and I'm much happier with the SuperTrapp performance. The noise level is now tolerable and the low end is much better. If I where you I'd get what I really want and if it means waiting a few weeks in the long run it will make you happy.

It will be going on my 2013 Ultra Limited with a stage 1 intake and Power Vision map. I am looking for low end torque in the 2000-4000 rpm range.

I have read good reviews on the D&D fat cat, I am also looking at a Thunder header. I would like to get some info and suggestions on these or any others.

Here is the FM 2-1 pipe with my setup, stage 1 intake and power vision map. I like these #'s
Are you trying to tell us that you had a fit and finish issue with your Dragula and Frank didn't make it right? Dragula's have a 2 year warranty and have not been available for 2 years yet. (I know because I have one of the first production models) Therefore you pipe would have still been under warranty.
So did you bother to ask Frank to make it right or are just bad mouthing his products without giving him a chance to take care of the issue?

I have always found Frank to be extremely customer oriented and would find it hard to believe that he would not take care of any legitimate problem.

PFwiz, I did not bad mouth his product and I could have listed each specific issue if I wanted. Yes, I did contact Frank and he is a nice guy and did take care of me. I purchased and installed the Dragula once and I choose not to do it again. I can explain the issues if its that important to you.

I had pretty much decided on the FM till I saw the supertrapp #'s. Those are impressive and from what I read they are designed to perform right in the rpm range I ride in.

lhgdale , I hope you find what you want but I personally don't think the curve on the FM 2-1 pipe you post is what you want , I agree most of us ride in the 2500-4000 rpm range , so you want a pipe that has power in that range which it does , but if you are rolling down the highway at 3200 rpm's and you go to pass someone and you grab a hand full of throttle you don't want it to drop off quickly after 4000 rpm's like that one is doing , look at my chart I posted with the Bassani , once a pipe builds power you want it to have a flatter or table top arc which means it's build power and now is pulling and continuing to pull with a slower drop off , look at the D & D I posted it does the same as the FM , you need to worry less about max numbers and more about the curve JMO
