From D&D Performance Enterprises, one of the leading performance motorcycle exhaust manufacturers, this Bob Cat exhaust is designed for 2000 to 2012 Harley-Davidson Softail models. The company states that it improves the performance and economy of the OEM system through tighter mapping of the engine characteristics. By adding a high-flow air filter (test made with Zippers Max-Flow Air Cleaner) the rider will experience as much as 10% gain in torque and horsepower across the entire RPM range, better fuel economy and throttle response.
The Bob Cat utilizes D&D’s Concentric Flow Baffle System technology. The benefit of using the system includes reduced noise, performance improvement and enhanced Harley-rumble. Options are black or chrome pipes, Aluminum Sleeve, Black Satin Sleeve, Carbon fiber Sleeve. Info at 817-834-8961 or at D&D Performance Exhaust.
I don’t like it! Who cares if there is a “10% gain intorque and horspower” if it also “reduces noise”?
I LIKE LOUD PIPES!
I like it, and think its bad ass! As a matter of fact, I plan on using this product on my next softail build…

I like it…. too bad it won’t work with mids
Be honest, if the VRod had been introduced with that exhaust hanging off the side, the first thing folks would have done is scream for the aftermarket to come up with something to replace it. Kind of like they did with the one that DID come with the bike 😉
Sure is a funny looking Harley motor!
In exhausts, Performance is everything, style is nothing.
Looks too much like the exhaust on my sportbike. IMO that doesn’t work w/ the cruiser genre
Looks like a euro thunderheader! Add noise and I’M ON IT!
On that bike, it would look better if it had a patina finish to it, like the frame, rather than the black finish.
when “style is nothing”, sales will be a similar number.
like I said, love the pipe…. my only question would be….
why seat springs on a softail?
The Bob Cat pipe makes more tone than a stock pipe but less than a standard D&D performance pipe. When on the bike and cruising, the pipe isn’t all that noticeable. Which I like because the sound doesn’t pound you on long rides. But off idle and in the passing lane, it gives a good rumble.
