I've been running a Supertrapp supermeg for about 4 years now and it has been outstanding. Probably not for a guy who wants to be heard 10 minutes before he arrives but it sounds good. Lightweight and fits great. After 4 years there is no peeling or discoloration of any kind to the shields. Makes good power.

 :agree: I had a SuperMeg and can't beat it for the price.  Also, the Basani is a good call.
I'm currently running the RB Racing BlackHole Spyder and love it also.
If you have to stop and think about if it is right or wrong, Assume it is wrong.

Yes,  The Road Rage.  Very nice pipe.  I actually will have a used SuperMeg for sale in the next week or 2.  Chrome with 15 discs and open end cap.  Nice pipe if your interested.

I think that the fat cat hangs to low, and I am not sure if I like the way it looks or sounds. I'll pass on that pipe.

I really liked my Supermeg but I needed  a pipe with a 2" head pipe so it had to go.

That one looks even worse than the original IMO.

I just installed this pipe on my Fatboy Lo.  I wasn't head over heals crazy about the looks, but also didn't want to spend $$$ on a pipe that was going to end up scratched up.  Dragos didn't give me confidence that his pipe wouldn't touch down, and I had talked to guys running the fat cat that absolutely had scratched it up.  I use my floorboards as turn indicators so those weren't an option for me.

Love the pipe so far, looks much better on the bike than I thought it would.  I got the quiet baffle which I think sounds healthy.  Installation was a PITA as the instructions provide no guidance as to the proper "clocking" of the rear section to the front and I had to use a pipe expander to even be able to get the two pieces to fit together (still was a real bitch though).

I'm waiting for Dyno results to reserve final judgement.

I hear ya, I went for looks with the V&H BSS I had put on before buying the bike, and then went to 2-1 for better performance.  As a side benefit I don't see a lot of people running the low cat around here so at least it's different.

You run a Heritage right?  Can you use the bags with the 'Zilla?

It's a Heritage, but a stripped down version...  A 'Zilla will not fit with the bags because of the slight up-sweep.

This is the best deep sounding 2 in 1 I have heard,  performance is on par with a cat

Greg I have heard that those have a kind of rasp sound to them. No one around here has one for me to hear for myself. I know you have one on your bagger but have you heard the softail version ? It would be great if it doesn't. That is a good looking pipe.
