    If its a 2 into 1 from what Ive heard they make good power and torque ,they look a bit ugley but thats my opinon,there loud,Check out there web site and on you tube,M&M Cycles in the US deal with them good company to get parts through just had a D&D Lowcat sent from them no dramas.I run D&D 2 into 1s on both my bikes and think there a great pipe might be worth checking them out as well if your looking at 2 into 1s.

    Thanks Rowdy,

                                      Yeah, 2 into 1, as I have gotten past the look of them now and got used to them. I hear plenty that they work a treat and finding it hard to find a bolt on set for my model.

    Cheers for the options and will have a look at the D&D, had a look at Thunderheader web site and will have a look at u tube as well. See a set on ebay but think they might be a bit knocked around....

    Cheers.

    Hi there Nifty,

    had a ceramic coated black thunderheader on my FXDX for a few years and it was a great system. Loud when you were under the hammer, but a good deep throaty loud, not a bark.

    Good for around town though as quite reasonable when just cruisin along.

    Got mine through Geelong HD. They sourced them from US J&P cycles from memory.

    Good stuff Watto,

                                    Cheers for the info, I know the system is a bit on the fugly side, but I hear they work well and have a good sound without that ear piercing shitty bark like some systems. I might contact Geelong HD for a quote....

     

    Cheers,

    Nifty....
