Default vance and hines

I saw vance and hines came out with the big radius exhaust for dressers my question is has anyone seen any dyno numbers on these pipes i wanna stay with dual exhaust and like the looks of this but also want to make the most power besides the pipes i mentioned what does everyone think for power and loudness was looking at the rinehart true duals or i heard vance and hines head pipes and samson mufflers were the best combo. The bike is a 08 flhx

Default RE: vance and hines

I'm looking at the Vance and Hines myself, along with SuperTrapp for my 08 Ultra, not sure which pipe set yet, but guys at the local dealership have both, so I'll get a chance to hear them.. If your looking at relatively minor upgrades, like stage-1 AC, fuel management and pipes I would recommend you don't look at the true duals. While you would get better looks and better sound from them you won't get more power, if fact you will be lucky if you don't loose power and a little torque. Stock headers with cross-over pipe and slip-on mufflers along with AC and fuel management will give you a good boost, unless the sound and looks are the more important factor for you you could end up disappointed.
