Default exhaust flow on TC96B

Just noticed that the exhaust pressure at idle isn't even on my '08 RKC. The right side flow seems lighter than the left side. Not scientific since i'm just holding my hand at the outlet but it is noticeable. Normal? Bike runs fine.

first off the TC96B engine is a softail engine=internally balanced

Second the right side muffler should be flowing more than he left and that's just the way it is. You can put true duals on to make them balance but it will cost you money.

As long as you have stock exaust on the beast this is what you will have....Super traps won't change the exaust flow ergo right to left but true duels will... Rule of thumb is about80% right side 20% left side.....

But it's my right side exhaust that is lighter than the left. Left side (jiffy stand side) blows harder. Ya i forgot - don't have the "B" on the RKC.

??????????????? - As White Night 04 said with your OEM header pipes you should be using approx 80% of your exhaust to the RIGHT SIDE and only around 20% should be leaving the LEFT SIDE... If yours is different I would recommend taking it to the Dealer and have then check out with thr restruction is???

The exhaust also feels stronger out the left side of my 08 FLHTC.
