Decided to go with the D & D exhaust with ghost pipe on my 09 SERG.  My previous bikes had Vance & Hines, but the Monster Ovals do not fit on the 09 SERG due to the extended box.  Great performance, quick throttle response, but you better like a little more noise than that of the V & H's.  I personally think the sound is great, but just taking the bike out for our first 3 day run so I will know how it is after riding 300-400 miles in a day.  Probably nothing that a set of good ear plugs can't cure.

Any other comments out there about the D & D Fat cat?  Maybe didn't need the ghost pipe, but I like the look better than just a 2 into 1.

Can you post some pictures of the D&D installed on your bike? With the extended bags on the '09 SERG the pipe choices are limited. Would be interested in seeing how these pipes look on your bike.

Hey ADC – I'm with you.  I have my D&D Boss exhaust with ghost pipe sitting in my garage waiting for my 09 SERG to arrive.  I'm curious; did you choose the performance baffles or quiet baffles?  I'm asking because the tech at D&D persuaded me to go with the quiet baffles saying the performance baffles would be too loud.  If you get a chance how about a picture?

Cheers,

vtyanqui

Don't know about the D&D's.  A lot of us have gone with fullsac cores with success.  You might want to hang on to the stock pipes.  If SB 435 passes, you may need them:  California Motorcycle Smog Check Bill

And while I'm thinking about it:

Same here ADC,   I'm patiently waiting for my D&D Boss to arrive.   And I concur with the other replies to this thread,      Let's see'em!

Fired00d,   pm me your email address and I'll send you some pics if you want.   I searched the world over for an exhaust setup on the SERG before deciding on the D&D so some folk were nice enough to oblige.

Thanks all for the feedback.  Pictures will have to wait for a few days.  Bike is currently at the paint shop as I'm having a chopped tour pak painted to match the bike.  Will post pixs when the bike returns.

vtyanqui, I went with the performance baffles.  Local place here, HB Hogs N Choppers, had received the pipes from  D & D and had run a dyno test that was published in Bagger magazine.  Bought them from him.  If I can find the magazine issue, I'll send a later post.  Love the sound and performance is great.  Haven't heard the quiet baffles so can't comment on them.

[vtyanqui]

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.

Cheers -vtyanqui

Will post some pixs asap.  Bike is at my painters since I bought a chopped tour pak and they are matching color and design with the SERG.  Let us know what the quiet baffles sound like.  Can't believe they would be too "quiet".  Good luck.

[vtyanqui]

ADC – good luck with the tour pak.  I'll let you know and I too hope they aren't too quiet.

When I'm listening to my BBQ baffles too quiet does not come to mind!  Sound like a Chevy small block w/glass packs from back in the day.

Dude,  with the looks of the mods in your sig it would take more than a "quiet" baffle to quieten you down.    I've heard both the standard and the quiet and the standard is "asking for trouble" loud while the quiet is just about right for me.   I know that some touring riders feels that even the quiet baffle is a bit too much.

I installed the Fat Cats with standard baffle and they were a bit too loud, so I ordered and installed the Big Boar Quiet baffle and both me and the Mrs. think the quiet baffle is louder, so I'm back to the standard baffle.

I believe the Big Boar Quiet is much louder than the Quiet muffler. Check with Hoist, I think he's tested all of em.

She really isn't all that loud. Still miss my Rineharts!
