Thank you sir... You just saved me some money.

As you know Dood, they have a sound you either fall in love with or want none of that. They do sound very good. But when I bump the throttle with the D&D's she does jump. Or at least that what I remember before my latest problems. Back in the wind soon.

The chrome on the D&D's is much better tho! LOL!

Don't try to sell me on them now... to late.

The 2 into 1 look has grown on me, and if I were in the market for pipes (coming from stock to aftermarket) I would seriously consider them. However since my Rinehart's are still holding their own I think I'll stick w/them... for now.

Perfect!   After all,  I do ride an ugly RG that most folk either fall in love with or want none of it...

The D&D suppose to arrive Monday and I'm chomping at the bit.

Damn – I was afraid you might have the performance baffles.  I can only hope my quiet baffles sound as good as the tech rep said or I'll have to spend more $$ because I love hearing my pipes roar.  I had Thunderheaders (2:1) on my 08 SERK and I loved their sound.  Thanks for the reply and post a pic when you get a chance so we can all see how great they look.

vtyanqui,     installed my Boss today, this beast is loud!   It would take me 30 minutes to explain how I got my pipe but to make a long story short the lady told me it had the quiet baffle.  I dont know the difference since I havent seen both but how difficult would it be for you to take a picture of the inside of your pipe looking into the inlet??   I'm afraid I have the standard,  all I see is just the screen mesh kinda like chicken wire.  My bride rides behind me on her RK and I'm thinking she aint gonna be happy.

[vtyanqui]

aclass - that's great news.  If your “quiet” baffle is loud then mine will be also and that's what I want.  I hate sitting at a red light with my friends and when the light turns green I stall because my friend's pipes drown mine out.  My bike should be in this week and when it is I'll take my boxed exhaust to the dealership and take pictures when the wrench  puts them on.  Just to confirm we have the same setup here are the parts numbers and description. 09 FLH/FLT Boss 2:1 Fat Cat, Slant Cut “Q” baffle (#549-32LQ) and 09 Boss Ghost Pipe, Slant Cut (#549-32LG)

Thanks again for the encouraging news.         Here's hoping your bride likes what she hears.

Hang on vtyanqui,   thats why I was asking for pics.  It's a 30 minute story to tell you how I "pieced" together my Boss.  The Header is new from D&D and the muffler and ghost pipe are both used.  The lady told me that the muffler had the Quiet baffle but after hearing this mofo and looking into the inlet I DONT THINK SO.  It was sold to me with 300 miles on it b/c the owner couldnt stand the noise.   So to be honest,  I'm unsure what my baffle is and am trying to find out before I buy or trade for a quiet.

[vtyanqui]

Aclass – interesting story regarding the piecing together of your exhaust system, but the bottom line is you have what you want and you like what you have and that's all that matters. I can't say for sure how loud the “quiet” baffle is supposed to sound as I haven't put mine on yet.  Perhaps some one of our members who has the Boss exhaust 2:1 installed can shed some light on this for us.

I put the fatcat quiet baffle on when i did the cams and Tmax and gotta tell ya, the look is fine by me and the sound is just right. Stock sounded like a sewing machine, V&H ovals (with POS SERT) had way too much decel popping. Now, when i let off it purrs like a kitten all the way back to idle. Did i mention the low end torque?

[vtyanqui]

Lee champion – thanks for the feedback; sounds like you've got fit and function sewed up. 

[aclass]

Well,  I give up!     I'm not willing to mushroom the end of my muffler trying to get the baffle out,  I beat the snot out of it against a phone book and this was after soaking over night with penetrating oil and WD40 and it aint budging.
D&D mentioned the quiet baffle could be hard to remove b/c of the packing so I'll just take it at that and say I have the(not so) quiet one.

Can one of you guys look to see how close your D&D header is to the transmission chrome cover??   Mine is tighter than Dicks hat band and without prying the header over and tightening the bolt it even touches.

Thanks in advance.

aclass,
I see no daylight in mine. It does even look like it is touching.  Not sure how my guy got it on there, but you're right.

I'm thinking about getting the same set up but I really wanted to stay with round 4"mufflers on my 09 SERG. Do you have pics? I've seen some SERG's with smaller mufflers and don't care for the look. I'm also considering the V&H Power Duals and Kuryakyn Crusher Mufflers. Any thoughts on using one brand of header and different brand muffler?
