My S&S 124, which is the fully assembled motor using the SE cases ended up using the Bassani Road Rage 2 - B1 system. Everything went smooth with the exception on the exhaust choice. I originally wanted the Drago 2 into 1 which has nice clean lines but for one reason or another it didn't fit according to the installer. The fitment issues came about due to the S&S having a much larger cam cover than the 120R or the S&S 124 built from the various kits. I did not want the D&D and time was running out so I took a chance and had the Bassani installed. My opinion will most likely differ from most folks but I can't put into words how much I dislike the Bassani. I don't care for the sound at all, it looks cheaply made, has some ripples on one of the sharp bends that the shields do not cover. The mounting system to the frame looks like a first time attempt at attaching a system to the frame. The shields make checking the nuts on the exhaust flange almost impossible to reach with the shields on. Don't even try to check your fluids unless it has cooled down or you will get a nice burn on your hand that matches mine. Really, a system that is on the market that makes checking fluids difficult, I was told that there was no issue. I guess there right just don't check it or supply thin asbestos gloves. Given more time to research I would have made a different choice. The problem is the 124's that fit the 07's & up have not been around very long so there is not sufficient info out just yet. By the way the you tube sounds of the various exhaust systems differ greatly from the clip to live sound. I will have to live with the exhaust because my spending is done for some time. My funds are exhausted, pun intended.
I took Dewey's advice to go with the 124 vs having a 117" built. No regrets on that decision.
