I don't understand the love for the thunderheader.  I know they make like a HP or two about the rest,  but I cannot get past the massively ugly looks of them.  I will take a little loss in HP your not going to feel compared to the rest and have something that performs and looks great as well.

I work in this business and its all about different strokes for different folks.

I have drago's on my RKCVO and is nice pipe but to quiet for me if you split traffic no one can hear you.. almost identical design like D&D , but just quiet.

a couple friends of mine has the V&H pro pipe and I can say....best sound i've ever heard .....but that's with my friends softail with a built engine.
my other friend that has one but his bike is stock sounds deep and has a nice sound / it's not to loud....but nothing like my other buddies with head work. When he starts his bike you can no longer hear mine and that's with my fullsac headers and 2.25 cores

everyone complements my bike as well.  I am getting used to the sound,  its very different but awesome.  But I would love to have a dummy pipe for the other side.  even out the back end.

If you like the deep boomy basey tone of the T header, the CFR's have that kind if tone as well. Admittedly they pretty much sucked IMO for performance without adding something like big city thunder baffles but I believe Joe Lyons recently tuned a set of CFRs and they had redesigned the baffle and have the same sound but much better performance.

My motor is built too.  I think im going to repack the baffle tho,  just to take some of that TIN sound out on deceleration.  There is none at cruise,  and none at acceleration just on decal.

I run the RB racing Black hole pipe on my 127" and very happy with it, trying to get some feedback on how it would compare to the other pipes on my 2012 Road glide ultra, anyone had experience with them? https://www.rbracing-rsr.com/lsr21blackhole.htm

I have a "modded" '10 110 ( cams, pistons, TB etc) that I'm tuning with the PV Pro AT and I recently installed the Fat Cat. I ran it for a few hundred miles and just couldn't tolerate it at cruise. Partly the volume, but also the 'tone'.
I run an LSR on the RK so I know loud.  There's more to it than that.
The D&D, which I refer to it as the cochlear Dremel, just had to go. Last week
I put on the Dragula with 2.55 baffle and just LOVE it. Spent the week racing around mountains for 2000 miles. No dyno sheets but it feels like it makes better power on top and it DEFINITELY makes better bottom end. At cruise it does NOT ache my ears.
I love it, I bought it from Frank, his CS was above and beyond. I truly don't give a tinker's damn who built it. I dealt with Frank and would happily do so again.


The Fat Cat is up for sale if that's what you like.

x 2. I heard a D&D on a RG being dyno'd, which belonged to a wrench I used to go to. He let me ride it before too, and to my ears, the sound is puts out is just plain strange. Kind of metric sounding or something.

I just got back from NC, and did a fair bit of riding in the mountains with a friend I met on the RG forum, who runs a Dragula. First time I heard one in person- I really liked the sound- great mean idle that still sounded Harley like, similar to my Rineharts. But once it got going, the sound changed to race car like, and it also had a great decel burble.

To me, Frank Drago's pipes are the best overall choice- price, looks, quality, sound, performance, features, and great personalized customer service. Can't wait to see what the new Dragula 2 is like. There is definitely one in my future.

I have put 4 rb racing lsr spyders on 103, 110 and 117's and several dragos on 110's and 113's... They seem to tune nice and most guys think they sound better than the VH pro pipe. :apple:

try FSD exhaust they are amazing. no one will have them around. the only thing is that depends what you are looking for thats the time that he takes to build them or you can get his production pipes. I had some in my Fatboy and they are awesome and no one have them
