I will agree with dave on this one I have the D&D on my 12 and it is pretty loud ..The only other thing louder would be straight pipeinit...

I have heard people saying that the drummer was a loud one also. Is the drummer comparable to the D&D?

the drummer ain't as loud to my ears. But then again I don't need the attention.

j/k just funnin ya.

if all you want is noise get the D&D...if you want performance and noise get the drummer.

its kinda like a woman.....some are loud all the time....some are just loud in the bedroom....


dang hows that for an anology.....still not quite awake guess...or I am losing my touch

Let's be honest now.

Based upon dyno test results that I have seen, the D&D outperforms the Drummer in the midrange. The Drummer outperforms the D&D below ~3,700 rpm and above 7,000 rpm. The Drummer costs significantly less than the D&D. The D&D has a wicked sound.

Choose the one that fits your needs best.

Thanks for your posts. So I take it the D&D is the loudest pipe out right now.

Dont get anyone started on Force on this board, but needless to say, product has horrendous reliability track record and customer service thats even worse.

I would say the Force pipe is the loudest. I had one on my M2, but I snapped the C clamp mounting bracket in a month. Called Forced and they sent out a new one... for 18.00 bucks and snapped that one in two weeks. Went to hardware store and fabricated a clamp for 5.00 and it never snapped. Personally I just want the product to stay on. I don't care about the numbers or sound if I am without my bike for weeks waiting on parts. I think that was the reason I went with the Drummer. As I read the post....

Jardin Pipes... broken mounts.. (although they may or may not have fixed that by now)
D and D... cracked welds and broken plates
Drummer??? Nothing yet...
Sorry, it's no fun to sit around waiting on parts to come in. Especially when you live Hawaii and next day air means 3-4 days.

Just my 5 cents, my 2 cents is free..

No doubt the Force is the loudest out there. If and when they get the problems sorted out I will again sell them and probably have one on my demo too.
When that will be is anyone's guess at this point though.

I recently heard the Latus Motors pipe. It sounds real good. Though it's just a modified Edelbrock muffler. It is louder than the Drummer, but I can't vouch for how it performs.

I've got the Latus..as far as numbers go i think it's similar to a D&D pipe. I love the sound..and YES!! it is loud. I love it.

The Force is seriously loud.

They just made a run of 50 of their redesigned pipes that are for sale now.

They had some reliability problems in the past (to say the least) and are not cheap. But they run very well when they are in one piece.

Dyna,

I'm not asking for a lot. You said I needed hooked on phonics/reading comprehension. I'm asking you to explain why.

If you're going to resort to ad hominem argument, at least do it honestly.

Ad hominy is good eating. Grits are even better.

Oh, ad hominem?
Never mind.

Jardines are currently not available. I have been waiting for news of when they will be back on the market for about 3 weeks now.
