I have ridden behind a few that had the D&D.   Really loud and that's all I hear.  I have to back to the end of the line when that happens.  The drago seems deeper to me and not quite as loud.  Tho is is pretty loud to me still.  Good luck on your decision.   Stuart.

My post wasn't intended "to bash" but rather to enlighten people on what I and others know as the truth. If you want to bury your head in the sand and hear only what makes you feel warm and fuzzy, I don't think a forum should operate that way. I think they should let people know what they are getting for their money and be completely open and honest without sugar coating the truth. The truth and the proof of how things work is what evolves the forum and the bikes that we ride that we strive to make run better. To add to that, it also gives credit where it's due, to the company or the man or whomever did the work and research and spent their money and time to learn more about what works in what way and what doesn't. If I put my name on the tip of a D&D pipe, does that mean it's mine or that I should get credit for it? If there was something different about the pipe that I changed, that's a different story. Sometimes the truth is ugly but it is what it is. I didn't do anything other than state the truth as it was told to me by both parties. If you came up with a cure for cancer and i put a label on the bottle with my name on it that the cure came in, should I get credit for your work and time spent to come up with the cure?

Edit: I hated to find what I stated above to be true, I truly did and I didn't want to believe it when I heard it but again, both parties ended up telling me themselves that what I stated above are the facts. I know Drago has stated he intends to make some changes and he has done builds that prove his ability. I just don't appreciate being deceived and I think members if forums should get the whole story on products and not turn the place into an unreliable source of promotion and slap ass and high fives when things seem like they're one thing but in reality they're another.

Again, and I thought I made this clear last time, I don't care? What ever beef you have I'm tired of seeing on here. Jesus your rants take on entire pages, take it up with Frank.

Then why do you even read the post?  :confused5: Someone else might care to know. The forum should be a tool for information, not cheerleading for false or misleading information. Don't take my word for it, ask hillside, Vee twin, Strokerjlk, Fuel Moto, hell, ask the people (Rush) that designed and manufacture the pipe.

While I have not dealt with Drago or Rush, and do not see myself doing so in the near future, I appreciate the information that INDEPENDENT_1 provided.  At least now, I can make an informed decision and compare apples to apples and have a choice with whom to deal with to get the same product.  In the end, I would choose the one that provides the better service.

IMO, I also did not see his post as bashing another vendor.

Shrug. There are previous occurrences you would need all the information from both parties.

Exactly and you and I have never spoken about this but again, don't take my word for it, ask almost any other reputable shop and they'll tell you "all the other information" and not just my experience but theirs as well.

We can ask all of your buddies what is what, and in the end.  What have we gained?  Most of the people that call my shop, PM, email, or ask on an open forum in the technical section.   IMO are more concerned about how the product performs and is it stood behind.  What I have seen with this exhaust or that with different combo's I have tuned.  Basically, experience.  Not the sewing circle crap.

I agree, Jason and no complaints about how they perform from me. Rush did a nice job and I've got new ones here in the shop to install and tune, one already installed and ready to tune and I am currently running one myself on my own bike. Performance or lack of is not an issue with me. Rush has got a nice exhaust and their reputation speaks for itself. Their products are their products and I have no problem giving credit where credit is due.

Very mature. They must be lining up at your door to have you work on their bikes judging by the amount of time you have to pick fights and throw barbs when the other guy isn't around to defend himself. Looks like your full time job is trolling the forum.  Stay classy.

60-65hrs a week for several months running now. Never too busy to be honest. I did decide to take a little break for Father's Day and way too classy to claim someone else's work as my own.

James is spot on with his post. i have a Dragos pipe.i was always told they were just a Rush Pipe with his name on it.well it is.take that for what you want.

as far as James and how busy he is  :orange: he is very busy and a 100 percent stand up feller.

without guys like him in this industry i have no idea were it would be.

Best of luck on your choice
