Check it out at: www.blockheadmoto.com/collections/harley-exhaust/exhaust Also be sure to checkout the Stage 2 comparison after this one! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH7TepSjmdZjnrssi=3lJ_18p92Z6tkoyb This video took us weeks to film, and put Justin's bike through a lot! If you enjoyed it, please consider subscribing, sharing, and liking!

[@freebehindbars8654]

I searched everywhere for this exact topic yesterday. Appreciate it.

[@palmettolowlife1996]

How come no Bassani ?

[@tex9280]

Blockhead got a question.... Do you reuse the exhaust gaskets? & Also would be a great video on how you guys at Blockhead remove & install exhaust gaskets CORRECTLY & the importance of a SIMPLE EXHAUST GASKET.... hope this becomes a video 💪 May all your days be Harley days🖤🧡🖤 Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾🇦🇺 🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@Hoodsolo]

@tex9280 I use a metal mechanic pick and kept shopvac sucking to ensure nothing went down in motor when i got mine out. Always always put new in when you pull exhaust off.

[@youtubechannelcats]

​@@palmettolowlife1996I'd like to see that also. I have the road rage on my heritage 114 with k&n intake. Had it tuned and produced 92.69hp and 121.56 lb ft of torque

[@niceshot4563]

This has got to be the best exhaust comparison video to ever exist. Nobody has ever gone to this extent. Well fucking done.

[@rhoadsy]

That honeycomb baffle on the Stealth is pretty sick looking. Props to the crew for putting all this together.

[@sk8xaq]

Appreciate you bringing back the education based content. The rides and destination vlogs get lack luster without the build content in between. Just seems like it's been awhile... but the wrenching is probably what we're all here to see. Thank you bunches.

[@markdurham7046]

Appreciate this comparison on a stock 107 M8. Very helpful. Looking forward to the stage 2 test.

[@redmondsweeny5876]

If you ranked them in loudness and talked about that in a video you would get a million views - much love

[@ccb7122]

yeah. so hard to find that

[@Group_Anonymous]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@CactusJack252]

I would have loved to see a fab28 pipe thrown in the mix, but you can only test what you have. Thanks for going through all of the hard work to make this for us.

[@sickwideglide]

👊🏻

[@andypants1000]

Adding decibel ratings would have made this definitive Muffler video

[@jameslankford9834]

Great video. The only other two popular pipes would be Bassani and Thunder Header.

[@parnellsc]

Not gonna lie.. I just went from the S&S to the Sawicki. And I wish I would've waited on your pipe. Not just bc you edged out in the #'s leaderboard, but bc it absolutely sounded the best to me!! Well done gentlemen! 👏 👏

[@reknas78]

I'm the owner of the 2022 FXLRST Stg 2 and you are my favorite channel. Great content and a big thanks to Master Mechanic Chris for the hard work you do.

[@feloniousmonk3049]

Major Kudo's to Chris to do this for all of us. Got a 2018 107 Sport Glide, and this is very useful information in making a decision. I like torque, down low, since I rarely even get to 4000 rpm.

[@gunsngolfn]

Thank you!!!! Now my decision for exhaust is much easier. Great video thanks for all the hard and HOT work.

[@dfc193]

Would you guys please do a dyno run with the big bore from A1 Cycles & TBR'S big bore??? You're killing it and appreciate what you're doing for the motorcycle community.

[@KickSense24]

Cant wait to see the stage 2 tests. Those numbers matter the most

[@OFFBEATFILMS1125]

The way you guys put in the work to make great videos is outstanding , I can not wait to see what a 475 cam does to that bike and what the numbers look like. 🤙🏻

[@jaymarquis1913]

This was fantastic thank you guys I can’t wait to see it with the cam

[@TheSeasonedUnprofessional]

I’m with you on the d&d pipe. It’s my favorite too. I just bought an 05 road king that I plan on changing from true duals to the fat cat

[@lukepaso1993]

Thanks for this video nothing out there putting in work and comparisons like this, obviously something any m8 owners interested in, champions!

[@ianloyd6384]

Finally get to see some numbers on the Stealth pipe.

[@simmon81au]

Great video. I've just started working for a HD dealer in Australia and get asked about exhausts every day

[@theblockyrocker9060]

I was never a fan of the cone style exhaust, but damn the coned exhausts sounded way better than I expected.

[@gascan_productions]

Y’all are true hero’s for putting the work in on this video. This is what people needed. I personally ran TBR for a long time, mostly because it’s what I could afford starting out, it made decent numbers! 🤙

[@poisonfangs85]

Great Video as always. I'm a bigger fan now knowing Chris is an Alkaline Trio fan.

[@berealz9701]

I've been running a gen1 sawicki for shit...a long time.... was the first batch that Tyler put out.... I'm still extremely satisfied with this pipe....

[@brettlynch2707]

if you run more pipes in the future you should include a thunderheader. love or hate for a lot of ppl, but a lot of performance shops use them like moonshine hd, but never seen actual numbers compared to the current pipes being pushed all over social media like hpi etc

[@coreyvail3837]

Awesome job with the Blockhead pipe guys. That’s a pretty big achievement.

[@brianheppner1725]

Really like this Comparison of 2 into 1 exhausts.... I have a stage 1 on my 2021 lowrider S with an HPI hi-flow filter, and an SPC Concepts 4.5 Big bore 2 into 1 exhaust..... and I Love it!!! That throaty exhaust note that it puts out is awesome!!! and no raspiness to the tone... all those systems you tested are amazing.... But I from experience would recommend the potential shopper looking for there next exhaust set up, The SPC Concepts 4.5 Big Bore 2 into 1 is an awesome option to possibly consider.... I like mine... as well as I am in Canada.... and there customer service to me was top notch! 👍

[@bobswanson3546]

Thx for the video. I have a 2021 fxbbs putting a woods 22xe or 22xd cam I have v&h long shots but I think will end up with another D&D Thx again for the comparison

[@dmitriysk5262]

You guys are nuts, only in America!!! Absolutely awesome, great job, thank you!!!

[@Bigiron429]

Yup like I said. I was waiting for the perfect exhaust, price looks performance and you guys made the best one hell yah can’t wait to order one !!!!

[@PWRLFTN]

This is awesome! I bought a stealth for my dyna and waiting on it to get in and love hearing the different mufflers! Keep this up!

[@DustinWoloschuk]

Awesome video guys!!! Congrats on your numbers with the Blockhead pipe!!! Can't wait for the re-release!!!

[@Yargilfist]

I gotta say, this was super awesome to watch! I greatly enjoyed seeing a lot of the science behind it and hearing Chris's detailed information and knowledge! And props to good ol IronJMoto for letting his bike be the guiney pig for this video! I thought I had recognized that bike! Was able to ride next to it a little bit on the Sunday of Biketober Fest last year. Archie from Ruroc was riding it, if I remember correctly.

[@breedlofam]

I have the Sawicki Mid Length 2-1 w/no cat I bought based on your exhaust shoot out videos. They offer a pretty sweet discount for vets and first responders, just an FYI. I've had it for about 2 months now. Waiting for you guys to drop your system, hopefully with the removable end cap with serviceable baffle.

[@f.t.w1066]

Master tech Chris , you tha man excellent video and explained well , Blockhead crew rock. 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@Hugo_801]

Let’s get a fab28 pipe on there. I want to see how that stacks up! Great video!

[@sickwideglide]

Ah yes…Someday…not today, but someday for sure

[@bloatedbaggers6934]

Lot's of time to do this! Appreciate you guys!

[@jhtrice]

Love this episode! I watched the earlier videos but having these all together in one place is fantastic. Thanks Chris!

[@markmcintosh7095]

Outstanding results for a new pipe. Congrats you guy's.

[@motorcyclemensch]

Glad you made this video! Great to see your family and learn how many of them ride! Ride safe and hopefully we’ll meet on the road some day!!

[@pathebert31]

Can you guys tell us about the Bassani road rage 2 in 1 exhaust? Keep your good job on this channel 🤙

[@BlockheadMoto]

We’ll try to have one for the Stage 2 testing! 👍🏼

[@fatbobchronicles6125]

Fab28 if possible pls

[@donaldsmith6404]

I love any video with Chris getting nerdy. Dude good at what he does. Love the blockhead fam!

[@skywayrider849]

Wow! Awesome video! I've watched a shit load of exhaust videos, but Chris your video was by far the most helpful. I've been trying to narrow down what full exhaust system I want. Thanks for the help. (I've watched the video twice and will probably watch it a third time.)

[@salomonpedroza7681]

I’m with Chris D&D low cat sounds the best and aggressive thanks for the content and the block head exhaust sounds amazing has a tune to ears music love it ❤ much support for watt u do every one on the shop

[@rodtsf50]

All of you guys are bad ass. Chris is the man. Master Tech 100. Great content.

[@parischristner8799]

Great job!!!! Thank you for all your hard work to bring us such great information. That was a job very well done. Thank you all, you guys rock!!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching!

[@vmotobiker]

Honestly Blockheads sounded the best and looks amazing!

[@frankvernol6911]

Great stuff. Again I feel the same from your last comparison video that I'm glad I went with the TBR and saved a lot of money without sacrificing performance. Thanks again guys for all your hard work.

[@nbowling10trio]

Well played fellas. You should release your exhaust in limited run batches so it creates more of a frenzy over them. Limited time only, autograph version, etc.

[@bowesmobile4649]

Okay. I want one of your exhausts now. Thats very impressive! Cant wait for the re-release.

[@sabinorangel6868]

Wow thanks for this video! It saved me so much ! And research, something about Chris’s beard makes him seem trustworthy

[@andrewmartinez8593]

The video we all have been waiting for .

[@BlockheadMoto]

🙌🏼

[@Nick0777]

Where’s Bassani roadrage 3?

[@scottfranklin8258]

Awesome content fellas. Can wait for the stage 2 shoutout with the 475 going to be killer

[@ShapHaque]

Looking forward to the video post stage 2

[@matthewjamesgosselin]

W chris video. extra points for the alk3 shirt. thanks for this one yall!

[@sickwideglide]

👊🏻

[@thesoftailstable]

Great Video guys. I'm running a 131 setup on my Lowrider S with similar dyno numbers to Goldzilla, Different cam, tuner, and air intake and a Bassani RR3. Im keen to see how the Bassani compares when you do the stage 2. Your new exhaust looks sick and sounds mint!

[@jasonkauffman4467]

Excellent video, very informative. Honestly if I hadn’t just put the D&D Fatcat on my bike and waited forever to get it I would totally go with that Blockhead exhaust. Love the look, love the sound. Maybe in the future when I do my 128 build

[@Skidz75]

Great videos guys. Just picked up a ‘22 Street bob 114. All those sound great. 😎🤙

[@pics-by-pete]

shout out to ironjmoto !! for allowing science to happen on his gorgeous bike. this is very informative video that most of us biker wished we had before purchasing the exhaust we currently have. I love my spc lanespliter .

[@lifeofjustinjames]

My guy 🙏 we appreciate you watching homie

[@keithgrant7791]

Great video, great info. D&D is also my favorite.

[@jakeschultz2183]

Love this comparison! Wish there a thunderheader in the bunch, not my personal favorite but I know they have a lot of hype and following up here

[@life_behind_bars]

Hats off to Iron J Moto for letting Chris put the beating on his ride in the name of science! Ol sick wide glide putting the work in. Great video guys!

[@lifeofjustinjames]

Teamwork 🫡

[@shane8493]

I agree Justin letting his bike go through this is crazy. Thanks for your sacrifice Justin. Chris is the coolest as always

[@xrpmjc507]

Really enjoyed that. You guys have made a great exhaust system. The D&D Low Cat upturn or Bob Cat was always my favorite. I may have to reconsider now Mr Blockhead.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

That Stealth woth the reverse cone sounds great

[@sprocket2595]

I'm actually looking at purchasing the stealth turnout so seeing this video has been a huge help. P.S: y'alls exhaust looks so clean and sounds great

[@40indyuk]

Great effort guys best real testing , 475 be interesting

[@OnOneWheel]

Would love to see a video including the S&S superstreet 2 into 1 and the screaming eagle hi-flow 2 into 1.

[@DannyDricken]

I'm gonna be that keyboard mechanic here but more of an FYI that the peak is at the initial crack of the throttle and that can cause some inconsistencies. Your pipe still kept torque and hp above the rest over the whole RPM range. Great work!

[@HASSON454]

is there a difference in the prototype vs the fuel moto jackpot, they look identical? Nice work on putting this together

[@Ed_Campa]

Great work! I imagine It took lots of Time, once each replacement nerds tô cool down and warm up again... thanks for these science perspective !!

[@Walker_Mcloud]

Subbed. Thank editing block for the reminder to sub.

[@robbarnes3680]

I love these type video's.......very very informative! Thank you Chris and Justin!

[@Dawchin74]

Had a giggle when I saw the blockhead exhaust do the best lol can't wait to have one

[@titetube18]

Thank you fellas for the exhaust comparison! And for the hard work! Looking forward to the next video with the stage 2 🎉😊

[@y35n00b5]

Personally I want a 2-1 that can scale well enough with that comes with a bracket for the saddle bags that I have on my low rider ST. Cheaper it is, the better. I really want a Feuling 521 cam in it as well. I guess we will see on the next one what one that will be?

[@natepinkley]

Looking forward to seeing the next one. I’m running the 475, s&s performance manifold and the Stealth 2-1 w/pipe bomb muffler on my 107 Road Glide. I’ve been beside myself wether I chose the right exhaust or not. This video made me feel a little better about my choice. 🤙🏼 Great Content, guys!

[@donnyj9487]

Unless you are racing for money, and need to have the best numbers or running from the cops, don’t get so hung up on if you chose the right set up. From the sounds of it, you got a fire set up and should be going as quick and fast as you need to.

[@Cartier2Shiesty]

hell yeah i bet his setup is dope, i bet that exhaust sounds badass.

[@hoonk.exhaust]

We provide various custom exhausts for Harley Davidson 🔥🔥🔥

[@senorbars]

I'm 18 seconds into this video. And I just want to say the best sounding and best performing pipe will always be the Thunderheader

[@senorbars]

21 minutes in ... good job on the pipe nice numbers 👍

[@billyfinch7341]

I have a stage 2 on my 2022 Lowrider S 117 ,with the Star racing 30/30 cam, I have the big radius Vance&Hines, I know it won't get the Horsepower as any two into one, I just like the sound and the looks, here on Maui we don't have a Dyno, so its kind of out of the box tuning, I used a Dynajet power vision and FuelMoto did the tune, have no idea what the numbers are but its still pretty fast, your exhaust looks great and obviously works, unfortunately I don't think I could tune it properly here

[@SomeWheelsRequired]

Love this comparison, great job guys. As a heads up, I believe that's the SPC Big Bore, not the Lane Splitter, as you can tell by the stepped section right after the merge collector. BTW, love the Blockhead exhaust in its current configuration. Extremely interested in what the charts look like with the cam.

[@slayer04031974]

Love the hard work on this exhaust shoot out!! Please update with Blockhead exhaust with the 135 motor with the same shootout. Please!!

[@johnwoody1334]

Awesome job Chris! I like where you are going with this!

[@seangriffus]

Talking notes for when I start putting mine together!! You guys are awesome and will continue watching!!

[@shawn9922]

Congratulations on the performance of your exhaust that is an amazing thing to do when stacked up against these giants of competitors!

[@Kash6161]

Kool comparison test.. congrats on ya own pipe pulling great results... What's the choice of pipe for a hot motored Dyna, in your opinion ?

[@mmatma31]

I would like to see thunderheader and s&s superstreet

[@andypants1000]

I just took the thunderheader off my sporty and the power drop was incredible.

[@oldschoolmobile]

I gotta say, the Thrashin sounded the best to me, close 2nd is the BH system. I was very surprised with the gains on the BH vs everyone else!

[@sickwideglide]

Me too!

[@Gucci48MC]

I bet you've never seen or tried mine 😅 I went with SMOKE muffler from Indonesia for HALF the price of $470-500 range. Light AF and sounds amazing 👏 Great content 👌 guys big fan!

[@lowmopar265]

Good work fellas 👏

[@SCBiker58]

Another awesome video as always guys. You are top notch on my go to info. I have a 114 with a 475 cam so looking forwards to this !

[@robertlumsden942]

that was an incredible amount of work to do all that. that was terrific. very cool. super content. good job guys.

[@rpmfreak9150]

Sharkroad exhaust system is a Hella cheaper solution, for the price it's not that bad. I threw one on a street glide I was building back a few months ago, and the Ryan Heart exhaust system I ordered for the build hadn't come in yet. There was a sharkroad 2 into 1 that was laying around my shop from another build ,so I put it on just to be able to test ride it and see how it run out. The guy who bought the bike wanted to keep it instead of me throwing on the Ryan Heart exhaust!! So I just kept it for another day. Great video brother thanks for sharing.

[@pauly680]

Awesome video guys. So much useful information here !

[@stevegrace7898]

Thanks for all the informative content

[@JakobKaizen]

Which pipe was the loudest besides the D&D? Great video!! Subbed

[@Pwpapa.7]

I do like that exhaust that looks awesome

[@miguelmiguel7030]

Dope content jus subscribed sendin love from the bay 🤟🏽

[@10octave56]

Great video!! I was hoping you might consider adding a decibel meter in the next comparison. Loud is good excruciatingly loud, not so much.
