I'm going with the "untrue duals". Bub 7 with crossover pipe. Balanced oiutput with no low-end torque loss.

Some say you gain a bit of fuel economy with duals. (Maybe 2 mpg)True?

Cool pipes but why not just stay with the stock headers with slip on's then?

new so question why go with true duels if so many of you claim it lowers torque? just asking
If you're "just asking", maybe you ought to "ask" how to spell it.

"Duel" is when people try to cancel each other out, by whatever means. Not what you are trying to find out about, right?

Since you didn't ask, but you still need to know the difference, "duel" and "dual" are distinctly different. Important? Yes, assuming you want to actually "communicate".

Duelling? That's challenging someone to the death. "True duals" - that's separate exhausts for each cylinder.

You're welcome.

Flamers? Screw you - speaking the language correctly and being able to communicate is what separates us from the apes. Join the human species, or accept the alternative. Your choice.
What a whining wuss. Oh $hit did I spell that right? Wait, I don't care

As was said above pour yourself a tall drink and R E L A X it's all going to be OK. Your meds will kick in soon.

Because stock pipes don't balance the output. Stock pipes are not duals, they are actually 2 into 1s, this is why there is HP loss with duals. 80% of the exhaust comes out the right side pipe on stock pipes. The left pipe is partially obstructed. (hope i spelled everything right)

A couple of posters here need to spend more time getting laid so they will feel better about themselves and not try to feel good by picking on others.

You won't lose enough torque to even feel!!! The over all torque will increase if you do a proper Stage 1 upgrade thetorque willcome on just a little bit later.
People make way to big a deal out of this TRU DUAL thing.
If you are just a rider like 98% of us just put on what you like.

Interesting....the dyno showed a difference of 20 footpounds of torque on my bike at 3500 RPM. That is 20 pounds LESS with the TRU DUALS.
Tru Duals look the best and perhaps sound the best thou...

Lesson to all... If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones at someone else's house!
Use this place to learn, trade ideas,get help and help others but don't,
and I mean never flame someone unless you are ready to suffer the
consequences!Just ride it!


I used the spell checker so if it is off then F*CK %FF!
