Sounds like someone got his duals up his ass. ....
Here's my 2 cents ... 2-1, 2-2, 2-1-2, whatever floats your boat is what's good for you. It's all about the ride and what you get out of it. I say make the bike yours by modding it to fit your tastes. It's all good. i currently have the stock 2-1, I'd prefer a little more grunt, but haven't decided how much yet. My last bike had the V&H Pro Pipe (a 2009 Fat Bob) ... it was a good sound for that bike, but not what I'm looking for on this one. I'll keep reading opinions and reviews, and listen to some pipes before I make any changes.
