I had noticed a loss of torque after the installation of the V&H true duals on my 05 Deluxe. It is allsp set up with with stage 1, and Terry's Components Terminal Velocity II. After much consideration I opted to get SE203 cams & SE easy push rods installed. At the same time I had the tensioners replaced as well. I am please to say that all the torque I had lost is back and more. However, I am a littler concerned over the level of sound I am now creating, and I already have the quiet baffles. Is there anything else I can do to lower the noise level of the true duels?
+1 on earplugs! I didn't know how much I would appreciate having all my hearing at the end of a ride til I started wearing them. Really for me it's more the wind noise than the exhaust though... and my sideshots aren'tquiet by any means!
Sorry Luxe I did't see this before I emailed you. I use ear plugs on long trips, and I have the stock exhaust. I've Tried with and without ear plugs, prefer with.
Hey Silver Fox thanks for the email. It looks as if your perilous journey through customization is just beginning. You've got a great canvas. Take your time & make it your own.
I wear ear plugs on hi way rides, but now I think I'll be wearing them all the time.
