D&D Fat Cat Harley Davidson Pipe Review
Harley Davidson Performance A Harley Davidson is not exactly a bike known for its power, at least off the show room floor.
For years riders bought a Harley Davidson for the style, the comfort and the heritage that comes with owning a piece of American Iron from a company with such a storied history as Harley Davidson.
That said, most Harley Davidson owners find themselves aching for more power almost from the minute they pick up their new Harley Davidson.
The first place they turn is usually to a new set of pipes, not only for the power but for that trademark Harley Davidson exhaust note.
Nothing sounds better than a Harley purring away from a stoplight.
I am a self admitted pipe junkie and I have tried a number of different exhaust pipes on my 2007 FXSTB Nightrain.
My bike is a little hotter than most with a 107 ci engine, cams and ported heads but nonetheless I still find myself craving more power.
I recently replaced my 2 into 2 exhaust system from a very reputable pipe company and replaced it with a D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 Harley pipe.
I had read about the strong power gains that can be had with a 2 into 1 pipe and all I can say is WOW! The fit and finish of the D&D pipe is awesome and they installed quickly and easily.
I was also very pleased when I fired it up for the first time to hear the exhaust note.
It was quieter than than 2 into 2 pipes I had on there before, which might put a frown on some Harley owners faces but while it was quieter, it sounded a LOT better.
The D&D Fat Cat produces a nice deep rumble with a lot of bass to it and when you crack the go-stick it turns into a nice deep roar.
I don't know that I have ever heard a set of Harley pipes that sounded better.
The performance difference is noticeable.
I will admit I have not dyno'd the new pipes but the "butt dyno" tells me these pipes definitely make more bottom end and mid range power, which is exactly what a 2 into 1 pipe should do.
The bike is noticeably more torquey and gets away from a stop light much easier.
I also can feel the difference when I roll onto the throttle, the bike leaps forward with no hint of lag or hesitation.
I realize it's hardly scientific but being a power junkie my entire life, I can safely tell when something works and when it doesn't.
These D&D Fat Cat pipes will put a smile on your face, especially if you have amodified Harley Davidson.
