Thanks to 'frenchbiker' & RK09RK. I finally got the assurance that I was looking for. It saved me a few hundred bucks that I'll now be spending somewhere else. (SE-255 cams....Ness Big Sucker ....Accel SLM..........

I considered V&H power duals & dresser duals, but didn't care for the looks. I know alot of riders are searching for a performance factor, but the headers are too bulky looking - especially dresser duals w/over-under pipe. I ended up going w/Bub-7 duals & am very pleased w/looks, sound & performance.

Got Em! Love Em! Sound great with Monster Rounds. 400 more miles till I can get her Dynoed. Want to get 1K first.
X-Pipes are supposed to produce more torque than straight duals. Most High Perf Auto Exhausts incorporate X-Pipes.
Torque, not horsepower, is what you feel when you hit the throttle.

A significant difference in temperature on the right side.
A moderate difference in sound/tone.
A perceived difference in power/torque.

I am pretty sure that the crossover is designed to carry better flow than stock. And it look great…

I think they are the best header pipe on the market in looks and performance but to each his own. Love mine.

What about mpg. Do you anticipate better mileage with the better flow of the VH x pipe?
