here's one, but it came off an M2, so you would have to have bungs welded into it for the O2 sensors.

You can also look around for a Force pipe (my personal favorite) for an X1. They have the best performance, but some have had many problems with cracking. I personally haven't yet though.

Overall, the D&D System, is great...

Had mine for almost 3 years... it is ceramic coated inside and out...

Not too loud, sounds GREAT, and feels better than the Buell Race header...

The force is nice... but, as mentioned, there have been more than a few issues with cracking...

Hope that helps...

Happen to have a Force in excellent condition for an X1. NO cracks and is ceramic coated silver. Fuel injected version with bung. Interested? PM ME.

My X1 has a Wileyco 2" that barks compared to my S3T's 2-1/2" Buell pro series GROWL, they both sound nice and are not obnoxious.
My 88 year old mother the other day said "your blue scooter can wake the dead".

IMO the supertrapp is the best ...it's a little pricey but still the best, and it's adjustable!
Hey Chase, don't forget I've still got my force megaphone drag pipe,VERY LOUD, but very free flowing. Oh and did I say It'only 50 bucks? I won't advertise any of my stuff on this site but if I hear of someone looking I'll respond.
BTW your getting pretty short aren't you?

I am looking to upgrade from the Stock exhaust as well. Havent heard how the Wiley sounds, the V&H SS2r sounds good, and I love the deep rumble of the D&D slip on.
Thought about the force, but since it is a complete system, I would have to get dynoed which can get expensive around here. I am eventually going to get ECMSpy and a cable, but am sort of afraid to do anything with it, as I really know nothing about it. Help and direction is greatly appreciated.

David, you are really flying blind without VDSTS or ECM Spy, the latter of which is more inclined to re-write many of the parameters of the ECM(getting you into deep manure)
I preffer VDSTS, while it is more expensive(ECM Spy is a free download), It is a safer tool for you to diagnose problems and codes. If your not literate in fuel mapping and engine tuning on a dyno, then learn to walk before you bolt out of the blocks at a dead run.

Jstfrfun,

Dude, beleive me, I am not trying to run anywhere.

Not Hi-jacking here.

I havent heard much about VDSTS, does this use the same cable as ECM Spy?

Back on topic.

I want a pipe that makes my bike sound like it should, Harley engines should have some sort of Harley sound as far as I am concerned. I just dont want it sounding like a ricer.

I've run the V&H, and the D&D.

The V&H is aluminum construction and started sounding (my opinion) after about 5k miles. There are repack kits out there for the V&H so I'm assuming it needs repacked at regular intervals. Wouldn't know, because that's when I swapped it for a D&D.

The D&D is steel construction, so mine is rusting from the way it was painted from D&D. Different exhaust coatings can prevent that even on the steel muffler.

As far as sound.. the D&D is louder at idle, I think the V&H was louder at power though. D&D sounds higher quality, the V&H was too "tinny" for my taste. Never had any legal problems with the D&D volume either.

"...the V&H was too "tinny" for my taste."

The aluminum construction does seem to influence the sound. At full song, my V&H has a higher pitched bark compared to steel mufflers out there.

I must be the on guy who runs an aftermarket muffler strictly for the weight savings and not the 'loud' factor. If anything, I'd like my bike to be a bit quieter.
