Prototype Patriot Pipes Defender
Installed this prototype pipe on my Dyna today with Sidecar Doug. The pipe is a prototype and was sent to me FREE! All I have to do is give feedback. I took it down the highway and the torque was as good as or better than my Thunderheader. It has a deep muscle car sound when the valve is fully open . The draw backs so far is the trans dip stick not being able to be rmoved all the way and the rattle of the valve in the closed position. Needs improving on the design a bit. I notified the company and let them know about the issues with pics. I think it is a good looking and well performing Exhaust system. They are available for baggers and softails right now.
Note. The heat shields look great when they are installed. not installed in these photos

Looks good! Now you know why the Fat Cats have that funky bend in them - to clear the trans dip stick!

I have the same issue with my sampsons, I have to remove the rear pipe to change or check the trans fluid, I don't think that pipe would fit a 1996, I remember seeing that offer....the rattling would drive me nuts after a short ride

Am I the only one who sees the irony here?

I will be riding with the valve open all the time anyway-so no rattle, but if I choose to close it, it sounds like the all hell inside of the collector. Must be a remedy somewhere. The dip stick thing is a real problem. can only put it on finger tight or you need a special made tool to loosen it.

It's awfully close to a lot of things on your model bike. Doesn't seem well thought out from that standpoint but it does seem nice in every other way. Someone else makes a baffle system like that. I haven't seen their ads in a while, so I am not sure what happened to them.

Nice look Geno. You didn't say in your write-up but I'm guessing the silver knob to the upper left of the cowbell is the control knob for the butterfly valve.
