I've been riding this Bike and the power is just incredible. Now the problem is. It's just too loud. I am wondering if there is an exhaust that would quiet it down without losing the power and maybe take out that torque dip. I have a set of new Woods 777 cams. I am wondering if they would be better than the S&S 585's. Hoping for some advice.
supertrapp supermeg is a good quite pipe, without tuning comparison it's hard to say if you will lose much. it will for sure be quite and can possibly help the dip I have seen where it does with someone willing to play with discs until they get it right. Call around and talk to some tuners and ask if they have experience tuning the supermeg. Joe is doing my tune and prefers the super meg or the E-pipe for the tuneability

Thanks John, I'll take your advice before I go deaf.
One needs to understand that this is using a SuperFlow dyno NOT a Dynojet, CHP and Clb-ft is Superflows way of correcting the reading to be the same as what a Dynojet dyno would read. The C stands for "Corrected". I use both brand dyno's and the SuperFlow readings are always lower than the DynoJet readings for the same bike, run on the same day within 10 minutes of each other, so SuperFlow allows the operator to select a Corrected set of readings that gives very near the same results as the DynoJet dyno reads. IMHO the owner should just pick up the bike and go for a test ride. If he is happy forget all the BS and go enjoy the bike, if he has an issue he should pull right back into the shop and talk with the shop right then and there.
OK, I stand corrected but still don't believe the numbers.

I agree just saw a SF dyno run on a s&s 111 that was over 130 hp all stock as sent. They are 120 when tuned right with a good pipe most run around 115.
though the numbers arent as important as a good tune and a fun bike. Until its my bike

No offense but
the power is "incredible" ^
You`re making huge numbers on the dyno ^
Why change now ?
