Shorts shots kill torque, in a way no tuner can compensate for.

The two things people do with Short Shots are... Put em on... Take em off.

Bought my Deluxe with short shots. Took them off and performance increased quite a bit.

I have a 2015 883 low converted to 1200 with 551 cams. Put short shots on. No problems with low end or high end torque. Work great no hesitation no popping on deceleration

I had Short shots on my Sportster and I loved them. I installed DK Customs Thunder Torque inserts and no problem just great sound AND torque.

Great to hear, love the way the short shots looks, and from what I’ve seen on the web sound amazing!
