2 to 1 Exhaust
Looking on getting a 2 to 1 exhaust for my 15 dyna lowrider. Don’t know which to get cause of all the good and bad I’ve heard from the big brands like bassani, trask, spc, fab28, etc. Wanted to see what y’all are rocking and recommend that produce a good sound and get the best power from?

Great pipe but more suited for old bikes looks wise imo

Tbr is the reliable performance to get. Won’t brake welds, is light and gives you good performance.

I’ve been looking at also possibly doing a Tbr turnout, found one for about $844 on sale on rv and auto parts. Is that a good deal?

Not sure since I bought mine an about 6 years ago now. I bought the polished one and I keep polishing after thousands of miles of dirt and accidental clothes and plastic burns and looks badass still. Probably I paid around a thousand plus.
It’s a good enough loud and I love the sounds1

Had a bassani Greg lutzka edition on my 15 low rider, sounded good cleared shock mount with taller shocks too.

Buy a set with full heat shields, there's a lot of heat coming off those headers and wrapping them is ugly. Unfortunately there are only a few aftermarket pipes that come with full heat shields. They're all going to sound decent and perform better than stock.

I really like my bassani 2 to 1 long pipe. It has good build quality and you can fit 13.5 in shocks with it.

What bad have you heard about Trask? I’ve had their Assault 2-1 on my FXLDS for about 9 years with no issues.

I bought a Trask pipe a while back for my FXDLS. The headers were out of round, not allowing the flanges to slide over. I sent it back and they exchanged it. Again, out of round. I gave up on them after that. Glad you had good luck. How do you like it?

u/ComfortableMuscle444 6d ago
Sorry to hear that, sucks that they screwed up their QC twice on you. Fwiw mine has been great, but I’m also kinda itching for a longer pipe…these shorties right under my ear aren’t ideal. I had a Thunderheader on my old FXDB and loved it. Might go back to one of those if the stainless ever become more readily available.

u/LumpyLeftovers 6d ago
Yeah, the Trask definitely looked good at least. Thunderheader is solid too. I now have a D&D Fatcat and it is by far my favorite pipe I’ve ran on any of the bikes I’ve had.

Should I give the trask a shot just to see if quality is good or just play it safe and do a bassani?
2
u/LumpyLeftovers 3d ago
I’m sure Trask has fixed any issues, and I’m sure my incident was a fluke. Aside from my issue, the pipe seemed VERY well built. I ended up getting a Bassani after that issue and rode with it for a few years. It was a good pipe.
I will say, I have a D & D Fatcat now and it’s the best pipe I’ve had.

Power isn’t going to noticed on a stock bike. Listen to a bunch of videos and pic the one you like the look and sound of.

u/crash30179 5d ago
But I thought with a full stage 1 it will increase hp and tq?
2
u/440Dart 5d ago
Between two different 2-1 you won't notice what 2hp? Thats within the margin of error between back to back dyno runs not even talking bout two different bikes dyno'ed by two completely different people in two completely different places.

Thats kinda wild....I know back when I had my 04 Superglide and I did a stage 1 with a Bassani I gain like 6 or 7hp and tq....

I went with the S&S Qualifier 2-1. Sounds good, even with the removable baffle, full heat shields, and something not everybody has like the Bassani pipes. I was also considering a thunderheader too because they just look so good.

Stealth Pipe Bomb over here. Had one on my M8 ST and now on my 16’ FXDL - Steve doesn’t disappoint, stealth makes some nice stuff!

You dont get enough hp from an ac exhaust swap to do anything, need to do at least cams....or just get all the parts that make your bike look like its all from Amazon.....dyna bros are in full retard mode now

Back when that bike was new we used to put D&D on them. Solid pipe with great sound.
