Python 2-1 Tuneable?

streetrod · May 31, 2005

There are a few other threads on the 2-1 Python, but I haven't seen a tuner's perspective other than "seat-of-the-pants" comments.

- Has anyone dyno'ed this pipe and compared it to others with the same build?
- Is there tuneablility potential in the baffle similar to strapping rows of holes in the Propipe baffle?

The Fat Cat and a few other popular 2-1's hang too low for my lowered softail and the Propipe looks a little Honda-ish to me with the megaphone tail (although this might be 2nd on my list if the Python remains a relative unknown). I'm not looking to win any dyno sheet contests, but would like to see a little more of an analytical comparison.

Using it for a 95" build that should go north of 100/100 with a good exhaust.......just looking for that nice early, smooth and long torque curve. :cheers:

Done similar builds with the Python and it tunes out very similar to the propipe. The baffle can be played with as far as strapping and drilling and it certainly has a nice price on it. A thumbs up on that exhaust.

Thanks GRock - I have heard that you have done a lot of work comparing different exhaust, so your comments carry a lot of weight. I had called the folks at V&H and they said the Python was "significantly different" from the Propipe, so I was (and still am to some degree) a little nervous about the lesser know Python. The Propipe has definitely proven itself - just don't hear about the Python much from the tuners. Maybe just a matter of limited availability of the Python through Drag vs. the wider availablilty of the Propipe through just about everybody.
