Default Samson 36" Cholo power loss

Got the Samson Cholo's on and went for a spin. WOW what a power loss from the old Vance & Hines true duals. Had the phase 1 mapping done after the V & H were installed. Should i remap for the non baffled Cholo's. Maybe the power cones? I knew there would be power loss with the uncorked pipes but sh..t Any ideas would be great.

You will not get all of your power back with non baffled exhaust.You will be able to improve it, but I wouldnt expect it to be the same as you were use to with the V&H exhaust.Your best bet will be on a chassis dyno with a good set up person and some remapping.Good luck.

Thanks bro, didn't figure i would get all back, no big deal. The sound and looks make up for any power loss.
