Hello, great site here with a ton of great information,, very impressive site!

Although there is not a lot of info on aftermarket parts for the 2008FLHTCUSE3 , I was hoping  someone would be able to help me decide on a set of 2 into one pipes for the 2008 Se Ultra.

I have been looking closely at the  BUB 7   2 into 1 exhaust system  and the Vance and Hines Pro Pipe BP. The local HD dealer here had a Street Glide in his shop with the V&H Pro  Pipe on it, they sounded great... He fired the bike up in the shop and the quality of the V&H pipes looked exceptional.

No dyno info and can't listen to pipes outside right now,, snow and -20C here right now.

However enough about the snow!!  Any input on these or any other 2 into 1 pipes for my 2008 FLHTCUSE3  would be immensely appreciated. I will of course have to get rid of the air cleaner that came with the bike once the pipes are on, but that will have to wait until K&N or Arlen Ness releases a unit that will fit the 2008 SE Ultra. I was mildly surprised that The Motor Company  has a paper air filter in the FLHTCUSE3 2008 bike.

My objective is to pull  a few extra HP and a bit more torque out of the bike without doing anything that will affect warranty.

Thanks for any help!!

Vance & Hines is a great way to go I: have the 2/1 on three bikes with no regrets

If I were going 2 into 1 I would look at the D&D Fat Cat. Have heard of good performance results w/this pipe and they sound is great. Also may not make any difference to you, but those that are stuck on having a duel exhaust look on a bagger the Fat Cat offers at additional cost a ghost pipe for the left side.

3 pipes, 2 cylinders , Ahhh!

Ida gone with the FC's had I not already laid out the cabbage for the RH 2-1.
It perfoms well, but I like the look of the FC better than the monster muffler look of the RH 2-1.

I am very happy with the SuperTrapp SuperMeg 2:1 I installed last month on my SERG.  It offers similiar performance characteristics to the D&D Fatcat but is less noisy.  Just my opinion...

Welcome to CVO Harley from Oklahoma.  Don't really know much about the 2 into 1 pipes, but noticed that this was your first post and wanted to welcome you.

Oh BTW, really cool snow globe!

I have the D&D 2 into 1, I love the sound, quality and performance. No regrets.

Thanks for the input on a set of pipes ! I had not even realy thought about the D&D unit, looking at it, it might be a contender... I don't like the real loud pipes so I'm looking for a 2 into 1 that is on the quiet side.. ( If that is possible.)

Yes this is my second post,, thanks for the welcome,, I have actually been lurking on the site for quite a while now,, so it's about time I made a post or two.....

If anyone has dyno'd their 110 SE bike with 2 into 1 pipes, it would be very interesting to know what the TQ and HP are.


Thanks

I second the statement about the Supertrapp, And I also have V&H, RB1 LSR, and BUBS on my RK - but if you want something on the quieter side the Supertrapp is the one. I loved the RB1 LSR 2-1 but with lowers, tour pack and fairing it was just two loud. The Supertrapp allows tuning, I gots a ton of discs shoved in there and sounds good but not deafening on those long highway runs that the others would tend to wear me out on.

My recommendation would be either D&D or Rinehart. I have the Rinehart on my bike and it sounds great and looks mean. However, that D&D system is no joke either. D&D is on the louder side of the two but they have a quiet baffle you can put in. RK2 is the air filter I would put in. It is a new product out with a new patented backplate with a honeycomb design to break up air molecules flowing in. They're a little pricy but great quality part. They use a K&N filter(you can even pick what color you want) and are made right here in CNY. Drag Spec. will be carrying this product in there new catalog. If you want one, I can beat there price since the co. is local and wants us to be able to sell them cheaper. SERT is the one I use. Good luck with your choice-Chris

Do you have more information/website/pictures on this system? TIA.

You might want to look at some of the dyno sheets from Laturs Motors, the have quite a few 2:1's posted there.

Chris,
Thanks for the link I checked it out. I like the idea of the Jet Stream Plus you can add to existing SE Stage 1 kit. As I understand it the "honeycomb" part is the significant addition to this system and would work just as well as their complet system? Can you offer any discount on the Plus system? I didn't see or overlooked the part you mentioned about different color K&N filter. If it is there can you direct me to it, if not there can you find out what colors are available? Thanks.
