I'd say the torque is about the same maybe not quite as "push you backwards" as the previous pipes which of course had been tuned vs. a canned map to start. Definitely very smooth though, (and I know it'll kick *** once set properly).
I was a bit worried about the muffled Supertrapp sound that sometimes comes across in videos. No need to worry, it sounds great and when you open up the throttle you definitely still hear it and it's a nice smooth sound.
Best part though for me, is that once up to speed or simply chugging along the wind carries so much more of the volume by virtue of the muffler being further back. I can still hear it but it's not the dominant sound around me.
I'm a happy camper.

Thanks that would be great! Seems like we're shooting for an end of July departure. My wife's boss wants her to keep working for him remotely so that's pretty cool. I'll be letting the cat out of the bag where I work early next week when our board's chair gets back into town. Going to be tough!
Just got to take it out for a quick 10 miles.

Baloney!
By the way as a fellow restless tinkerer I swapped rocker covers out last weekend!
What can we get you to do next. . .hmm. .30T pulley sounds good. I have the tools come on over the waters warm. I even have a spare set of primary gaskets.

Your voice is already cracking under the lie 
Matt, those rocker covers look nice, I'm holding out until I ever do anything to the heads.

Out of curiosity what would a pulley change cost and what would it do for me?
