RE: V&H Softail Duals
I did notice a substantial loss in torque from my Roadhouse pipe to the true duals. I had decided prior to the pipes that I was getting the cams done after the pipes. I did not have any dyno testing done but the seat of the pants dyno told me that I got back the torque I had lost and bunch more with the cam up-grade. As for the Terry's system I have been nothing less than pleased with it for the last 2 1/2 years, great investment.

Chris, I think that will look great on your bike. It already has a great nostalgia look going and this should complete it.
One note about quite baffles. This may not apply to everyone, but I ordered Q baffles for my V&H pipes and experienced a loss of torque so switched back to the stock baffles. For some reason the Q baffle had too much restriction and frankly were not that much quieter.
Be sure and show us a pic when you complete the install.

The looks and sound is great. Really gave the old school look to the FatBoy.
I am very interested on your impression with the ride and power. Any noticable change in power or tourqe ornot enough to sweat over. How is the same map working with these pipes?I am running basicly the same pipe as you had and am really looking at those pipes. I am sure others are interested also.
Thanks

Damn Chris, that really changed the look of you scoot and I have to admit I like it better than I thought I would. You got me thinking. Always dangerous.
