went with the 2-bros

The 2Bros doesn't have baffles; it's a basic flow-through glasspack muffler. You can order a "sound supressor tip" for it; it basically restricts or narrows the exit hole. I tried one and it sounded like crap.

I don't have the titanium, I went with the aluminium. It looked great; got several nice comments on it. However, it's off the bike for the moment. I didn't like the low-speed fueling (high-speed is fine) with it, so I put the OEM back on. I'll put the 2Bros back on when I can afford a Power Commander and dyno tune.

I wonder why the OP had said there was a restrictor that came with it and it was too loud without it. Can you explain what symptoms you were experiencing with the fueling? Was it just popping or running rough over all. Oh and pictures would be awesome if you have any. I'm debating on the Aluminum vs Titanium right now.

He might have been talking about the stock "tip" that comes with all 2Bros. It's the part you replace when you go with a sound-suppressing tip. However, that part is virtually the same diameter as the tube inside the can, so I don't consider it a restrictor myself.

The bike surged a bit and generally ran rougher at low speed than I prefer. No popping or miss, but compared to the incredibly smooth fueling with the OEM pipe it was unacceptable. Full or near-full throttle, or high RPM running was fine, there was some reversion noise on decel and most gear changes had a loud "pop." Very racy sound, actually.

No photos, but the aluminum is better match to the bike IMO because it's almost a chrome look. The titanium is lighter but it's a dull grey.
