Well, that shoots that idea down. I was going to use their billet cat on my build. That sucks.

I can understand the arrogant attitude with being told your baby is ugly. Dont build and ugly baby, easy.

Thanks for the heads up!
 
I spoke with @lbskis and he agreed we should put something out there for the forum.

It has come to our attention from other shops we know and other tuners we know of a potential issue that is arising on bikes running D&D exhausts. Apparently, the coating D&D puts on the INSIDE of their exhausts is breaking down / flaking off and the debris is turning into sand for lack of a better comparison. That trash is then going through the engine. From what we’ve been told, there is even a class action lawsuit in the works because D&D has said these failures are not their fault. We know of a couple Dyno tuners that are already refusing to tune bikes with D&D exhaust for fear of how a failure could look like they (the tuner) caused it. We know of a major company that has already returned all prototype exhausts and all in stock exhaust to D&D.

I am not looking to start a debate or argument and don’t have time for it. I just simply wanted to put info I’ve been given, out to forum members.
thanks for the notice, appreciate it.
 
Thanks for the heads up and so disappointing to hear this from a timing perspective as I just had my bike dyno tuned last month. What would ya'll recommend I replace my billet cat with? I currently have a 21 RGS with 114, star 30/30 cam, 64mm SE intake/throttle body, and SE ventilator extreme. I would like to stick with a 2 into 1 but will want a ghost pipe option to fill the gap on the left side if I do.

Well, since I have a Jackpot ghost pipe for sale, I recommend the Jackpot 2:1 Black exhaust. :whistle::geek:

Khrome Werks would be my vote.
 
You don’t think the smoked chrome will go with your paint? I think Lance Courey has the Bassani in smoke chrome on his CVO and it looks killer.
I've seen pictures of one on a 2020 CVO and it didn't look bad, but thought black still looked better. Just wish they made one in gloss.
 
I am definitely waffling on the finish too since mine is mostly all black, but thinking it might be an interesting contrast. Decisions Decisions :)

Mine is an all black bike and I have the S&S Sidewinder in “Lava Chrome” as they call it. It definitely breaks up the murdered out look. Really happy with the pipe and the look of it.

Danny's is the case in point. I think that finish would look great on an all black bike.

Holy crap. I don’t have the specific info on the class action lawsuit. I was told there is one in the works from others that this has happened to. I don’t have any more info than that but I will see if I can find something.
