I had some mods done on the Superglide Sport last week, new handle bars & a lowering block kit on the arse.

When i picked the bike up i was wrapped with the way it looked & sat & on the ride home it felt great. Well i got to ride it yesterday & again today with the missus on the back (she's a lightweight) & the f&ckin exhaust scrapes like a bastard.

It is currently running a D&D Fatcat which is great & was on the bike when i bought it & i never was really 100% in love with the look. Really prefer the hot rod look.

Now the question is, IF i change the exhaust, ( i might just let it grind itself away) what the hell do I go for?

I like the look of the V&H big radius but i also like short shots etc. Don't really like the loooong pipe look at all, oh & they also have to be black.

What pipes actually live up to their hype performance wise?

Any info on what people have experienced would be appreciated.

Thought i'd better add a pic so you can see how long & low the pipe sits, oh, & it only scrapes the last 6" or so, so far.

 If it's just the muffler, I'd look at modifying it to sit a bit higher.
I've been looking at pipes for my FXDX, and never found a 2-1 I really liked.
The few I found were Bassani Road rage, Kerker Supermeg, Cobra Python (by V&H).
I liked the Kerker the best, and looked like it had decent ground clearance.

I ended up getting a Rinehart stepped 2-2 the other week, but haven't fitted it yet.
Of course you could allways put it back to standard height. What shocks are they ?

Cheers

Hey speedzter, if i go new pipes it'll definately 2-2
It won't be going back to standard height, my short arse legs like it where it is.
The shocks are Fournales air shocks & with the new ride height & a bit of a dial in they are great.

to start dont lower the arse ,most exhaust systems will scrape if bike is lowered ,the d&D IS performance system they make a upswept set which could give better clearance

Southern Custom Choppers have a 2into1 system they build in house that works a treat,they look godd,can get them upswept,chrome or black,give impressive dyno figures if the bike is tuned properly and a pretty reasonable price. talk to Picko  0732057282. Freedom exhausts offer a cheaper alternative to Vand H pipes,but like was said in a previous post most of the shorty type pipes do nothing for performance. for 2/2 pipes,Carls Speed shop in the US make a complete tapered turbo set up that turns some impressive dyno figures with the correct tuning. or you could get Les at  Fat pipes in Qld to make you a set of pipes in whatever configuration you want.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Funny that you should mention Les, Angry as my missus actually thought of him last night.
I have been steared towards Picko a couple of times too, both he & Les are close by as we live at Murrumba Downs & the missus works in Brendale.
I'll probably see Les & see if he can weld a bend between the headers & muffler just to sweep the back up a bit.
Th bike will be staying lowered & i don't want to start throwing heaps of cash around if i can help it.
Performance loss (if it happens) doesn't really bother me that much. I didn't buy the bike as a performance bike, i've got a dragbike for that.

HMMMMMMMMMM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,already thought about that too but nah, i think i'm gunna go with the kickin it up idea.

 What about this??
