We have both! Candy has the 2 into 1 and has the chrome sprocket and all which looks great. I bought the D&Ds second hand from a member on this site and it came with the falsie, so I put it on, plus I like the two pipes better.

Stupid pet tricks - pull into a crowded lot on a hot day and shut the bike down with a loud pop as you shut 'er down. Get off the bike looking around as if something is wrong, then grab the falsie and give 'er a pull, people will fall out thinking you just grabbed a hot pipe.   :nervous:

Hot pipe? Now we're back to the cap screwing off again. As long as I'm there while it's screwing off, I don't care!

Can you get a ghost pipe for the V & H pro pipe or do you have to buy D & D  to get a ghost pipe?
Have never seen one offered for the V&H Pro Pipe. :nixweiss:

I considered V&H's Propipe however they don't offer a ghost pipe. I also didn't like the look of the propipe as it appears very chopped up. Instead of being a single piece under the bag, it changes size halfway to 4.5" and when viewed with the rest of the exhaust it just looked very "choppy" to me. Probably just the way I saw it though.

I did check out Thunderheader which does offer a ghost (Falsee) pipe for the left side. http://www.thunderheader.net/1075.htm Decided to go with D&D given the dynos I saw for 110's. I also think the muffler is a smaller diameter on the Thunderheader than on the Boss Fat Cat.

I definitely don't like the look of the Thunderheader compared to the D&D.  No contest!

I don't know...there's an awful lot of chrome covers and other doodads on that SE Ultra of yours to suggest that if something doesn't have a function there's no need for it.

I like 2 pipes maybe though because that is the norm. 

After seeing Dood's bike then seeing Duane's I think 2 into 1 looks good.  I think if I went that route I would consider a center stand.  That would really show the sprocket "bling".  When I have my bike on the jiffy stand unless I stand back quite a ways I can't really see the pipe that good - of course I do have a pipe so maybe without a pipe you can see the sprocket better.

Interesting observation....other than porthole, all the guy's that suggest that the Fat Cat should never be run with a ghost seem to only post pics of their bike from the right side or rear. Never from the left side. I wonder why that is?

I noticed that too! interesting perhaps subconsciously they know they are missing something?

With stock bags not quite the issue as the stretched bags with the openings for both pipes.

Personally think they will sell a lot less 2010 Street Glides with the 2-1 pipes on them. Or the aftermarket sales of duals will increase?

Although common knowledge is the 2-1 makes more power I've seen results actually showing the opposite result.

Just personal taste?

If it was just about performance we'd all be riding Crotch rockets!
