I have heard that "true dual" exhaust systems (ones without interconnecting pipe) exhibit a dip in the torque curve -- probably in the mid rpm range. Vance and Hines claims no torque loss across the entire rpm band (with their re-map) but will not share a dyno chart. Does anyone have a torquegraph with either thenew Vance and Hines true duals or the Samson versions -- plus alow restriction air filter (only these mods)? What fuel injection module and calibration strategy (in general) was used (i.e. powercommander, a/f calibrated to 13:1, spark set to mbt)? Also, since the left side of the bike with these exhaust systems has routing under the seat and next to the oil tank -- any instances of high heat to the rider, or higher heat being input to the oil tank?
