Which would be a better set up or does it matter..v&h power dual..full sac x pipe or just remove cat from stock header??

 

We need to know what other engine mods are being done. The v&h power duals are Good up to about 130 hp with the crusher mufflers. The fuel moto stainless pipe is hard to beat with both sets of o2 bungs. The kury powercell pipe if a great performer also but im not into the shields.

 

New 14 limited. .just got vance and hines monster ovals. .that's it..all stock

 

V&H power duals with RC component 4" Excalibers. SE heavy breather and SE super tuner. This setup works great for me. A noticeable 'seat of the pants' difference. Had the same setup on my '12 LTD- liked it so much I set up my '14 the same way.

 

For those mods the V&H or the Full sac will be the same. Me personally I don't like the idea of decatting the stock pipe because of the stock O2 sensor locations. With the well engineered aftermarket head pipes the O2 sensors are in the down pipes right near the exhaust valves. The power duals will match very nicely with the monster ovals and then you could do the FP3 to tune it!

 

I ran the stock non cat '09 header and picked up some power and lost heat with Fullsac pipe. I think the big three Xpipes work about the same. I don't like the look or cornering clearance of VH. Stainless of Fuelmoto is nice. Got my Fullsac lightly used for good price...

 

I think you'd be real happy with the ceramic coated Fuel Moto 2-1-2 head pipes.

 

I have the stock header - no cat & VHR slash cuts ...... My bike sounds awesome.

 

Thanks for the advice..gives me a few diff. set ups to look into..

 

What is the difference in performance between a power dual/x pipe type header and plain ole true duals. I really like the look of true duals but performance wise whats the difference?
