Default Vance & Hines Torquer 450s with Power Duals?

Thinking about replacing my S&S MK45s with the Torquers. From the searches I've done on here, many seem concerned about the large baffle, and its affect on the low end. Was just wondering if anyone has run them long enough, dyno'ed, etc, to get a feel for its effect on low end. Thanks in advance.

If you leave the catalytic converter in you shouldn't suffer any torque loss with the bigger baffle (or at least very little). It would most likely be a problem if you added a catless header... then you'd want a smaller baffle or at least add something like Fuel Moto's inserts or DK Customs Thunder Torque Inserts.

Wait.... are you already running Power Duals?

Yep, already have power duals. I was looking at the V&H Hi output slip-ons, till I heard about the Torquers being designed to optimize the M-8.

I'm running MK45s with a Fuel Moto stainless steel header and have a good amount of torque down low.
