Default More Torque needed!

What is the consenious...

I have a 95" 2005 FLHTI with S.E.Performance Heads, Andrews 37 cam,S.E.Air cleaner,Race Tuner,24 tooth compensating gear,S.E.Performance slip ons. The motor dyno'd at 93 H.P. and 103 torque. When the bike was dyno'd I was told a better exhaust would help alot [perhaps another 10 horse]. I don't like loud and obnoxious. I like the looks and sound of the S.E. slip ons. However, I am thinking of swapping to Super Trapp 2 into 1's. From what I read they are not overly loud and make good power. Is it worth doing? Will I gain any more torque to make it worth while?

I was told the same thing 2 to 1 helps torque for motors that dont have it. The thunder header will give you lots O torque but the can be loud when you get on it. Not so much when you are just toolong around.

My dyno guy told me for my ride i needed to switch to a good set of true duals to help get that xtra 10 hp. BTW i have 125 ft torque. we will see i may change it out, but for sure the right pipe will make the scoot preform better.

Mike, i have a 2 to 1 on my bagger and i think it looks pretty good my self, but that is why there is more than one set of pipes and not all bikes are black...LOL

2 into 1 will definitely get you the low end torque.
