2-1 performance pipes
Thanks for all of your responses!
I went with the V-H 2-1 Pro Pipe b/c I had the 2-1 Screamin Eagle Pro pipe on my FXDX, which I just traded in for an FLTRI. I have nothing but great things to say about the performance of the SE Pro pipe. My only complaint was that it was too quite. Torque down low was awesome!
Based on the success of my hard charging SE Pro pipe, I bought a Fatboy and exchanged the stock pipe w/ a Python 2-1. That pipe is also an awesome performer. (I've had great success with Python 3s in the past too, but the 2-2 design did not have the torque kick of a good 2-1). As soon as I removed the baffle from my Python 2-1, I noticed a fair bit of torque loss, but the sound is all big block V-8.
Based on that experience, I opted to get a V-H Pro-pipe HS for my bagger.
The message here is that 2-1 performance pipes are really the only way to go for performance. They sound somewhat unique and different to all 2-2 pipes, but I'll trade the sound for performance, any day.
Happy New Year to all of you. Ride safe,
