Exhaust and Performance???
Not sure if I'm just imagining this, but...........
I had V & H true duals installed on my '07 Deluxe a couple months ago. According to dyno results, all was well.
I went on a longer ride today and the engine seemed to be "dragging" or near "maxed out" in 6th gear around 60-65 mph.
Anyone experience anything similar???

maybe just lugging the engine, I have a five speed and dont hit 5th until 65, and thats not even reving it. However, even lugging, it should exelerate. The dualls, if they have no crossover will have less power at lower rpm even though there is more further up, maybe thats it. Do you have before and after charts? if so, the difference should show uparound 2000 rpm. Also any tuning to match the pipes?

Sure it wasn't fifth gear? I'm not even into 6th until about 70mph. Maybe it was lugging? You should be able to go a hell of a lot faster than that in 6th.

IMHO, 60-65mph is too slow to be cruising in 6th. I don't even shift to 6th unless I'm running at least 70-75mph. Sounds like you're lugging the engine but definitely not "maxxed out". Should be able to break 100mph in 4th.
