I would listen to the Bub7 True Duals.Check their site, they have some sound, but nothing like listening to the real thing-- I'll let one of the guys who know 1000% more than I answer the dyno question, but my uneducated guess is... probably.

Best, J

I've had both...

The Fatcat with standard baffle is a lot more quieter than the V&H Ovals.

Now have had both.

Talked to V&H tech support - they CLAIM that the ovals should not get louder after a few hundred miles. I said BS! Mine did as well.

Put the FatCat with quiet baffle on this last Friday. Have only put like 100 miles on them - so far, quieter than the ovals and have not noticed it getting any louder.

I like the quality of the Fat Cat. Plus can really tell around 2500 RPM's - i.e. kicks in stonger than the V&H ovals.
