power duals
to those that have the power duals by v&h do you like them and did they give you good performance for the money.no one around here has them and dealer has'nt installed any.i like the looks of them but was wondering if they where worth the money for performance over the stock head pipes.plus my choices are narrow for my bike,09 rg.doesn't seem to be much out there for head pipes.

Powerduals
I have them and the exhaust note is different with them,much better looking in person then pictures show,way better then stock. I had them installed with cams so I don't have a # for T& HP,just guessing I would say an increase of 4-5 HP,3-4 on T.The CVO site has a member that did a before and after dyno run and it showed a nice increase,

A mechanic at our shop put these V&H Power Duals on his '07 with minimal fabrication after changing out the V&H '09 True dual setup he had also fabricated. He has the Supertrapp SE slipons with the Power Dual header and it sounds FANTASTIC!!!!
If the FatCat I just purchased doesn't work out due to noise or sound, I'm going to put the Power Dual setup on my bike. It sounded that good!

I have the Power Duals. I'm not sure if they are all that...I think I was expecting more. My numbers are ok, but my tuner (at the HD dealership) cant get my set-up dialed in. It's been in 3 times now and he knew I'd be bringing it in for the 4th time. He tried explaining it, but it's all greek to me.
Anyway, I think if I were to do it all over again, I would go with Jamie's header pipe (especially if he did a comparison between the 2). I like the fact that I can keep it look stock as much as possible (performance wise)...kinda like a sleeper.

Do you have a link to the CVO guy's post?
