I have them on my 09 Heritage. They are now called V&H Double Barrels. I pulled out the stock baffles which are very restricting & put in BCT QQ baffles. Now they sound much louder. About the same as the big radius on my 06.

You will lose lots of torque & it will sound like crap. not a good idea but it will be LOUD!

The QQ's have a deeper sound then the originals. I like them better & have had both.
