You might see it on a Dyno, but probably not by the seat of your pants. Depends on what baffles you're running. With the quiet baffles it 'might' be more noticable. With the stock baffles I doubt there is much difference.

Can't say about your slipons, but there is a noticable difference in torque between the short shot stock baffles and the quiet baffles.

My 07 FXD came with V&H Big radius with the Fuel Pac. Wouldn'y pull top gear on the dyno (it would bog down)

As i recall it had 80 lbs of torque, 67 HP.

Now have a 2-1 Supertapp

I think you need back presuure?

im running quite baffles, I would think they would give you more back pressure then stock baffles.
Correct me if im wrong as im not real educated on this topic, but wouldn't that back pressure give u more torque?
