OK, I've just read 2 different negative comments regarding D&D pipes. jhintw says

o and i know...the D&D pipe..well it sure is cheap and i don't have a fat wallet

and Fury states

lookin great though!
well...except for the D&D pipe....

OK, what gives? I was planning on a D&D for my next pipe. Yes, I'm looking for loud. I ride in Harley country. Comments please ...

Excess loudness, with no corresponding gain in power. Sometimes a bit less, depending on tuning. I have never had one, but there are people who are less than impressed with their build quality, fit, and longevity. The packing has a tendency to blow out and leave you with a can with not much in it at all, so I am told.

But, if you want loud and cheap, you can't get there much more effectively.

i don't care what they say! i have one and on I-5 guess what? boxers know i'm there. end of story. is it legal? probably not. could i afford a yoshi? not with the way my kids eat. so its all tradeoffs. buy a better can, watch yer spawn groan. whatevah.

oh yea one more thing, i did do a tune for it and it was weird, not good take off from standing, but sweet acceleration from 1000 thru 3000, very responsive and peppy, bump still at 3000, but beautiful after...tune cost about $40 or so...

Will, Fury, Hardboiled ... Thanks for the input. Hardboiled, 2 questions: 1) Did the bike run bad without the retune and just the can? and 2) Any possibility of getting a sound clip?

 

[hardboild]

it was acceptable without the tune, but i think you should, it makes it sweeter. sorry, no clip. i put the stock can back on cuz all i'm doing in winter is commuting - i put the D&D on around late spring when i'm on the highways more.

Another option is a Jardine Can. I've heard rumors that they are made by the same people but I'm not sure. Anyway, I bought my Rt-1 for less than a D&D and I love it. It's loud as hell and it looks great. I'm sure there are better pipes on the market, but it works for me and you can't beat the price. $150US, if you look around.
