Do you feel that you are living in a Black & White world? Is everything just a little drab? Do you need a little excitement, Bunkie?
If you said yes to any of these questions then you should be thinking D&D Performance Exhaust. D&D build exhaust pipes that not only look good but will plaster a grin on your face with the added horsepower and torque.
Doug Lineback wrote in at D&D and said, “Got my Fat Cat on my birthday last week for my 2009 Road Glide. Note how the pipe really sets the bike off. This is the 3rd FatCat pipe on the last three bikes we have owned!”
But Wait There’s More – D&D’s BOSS Fat Cat kit includes a D&D 2 into 1pipe along with a Zipper's air cleaner… it produces a whopping 15% increase in HP, 15% increase in Torque.
At idle, the motorbike is deep and boomy and full of character... just the way you want it. And once you crack the throttle the sweet basso-profundo notes just keep on getting better.
Get details on D&D BOSS Fat Cat at www.danddexhaust.com.
