RE: tuner/pipes/air cleaner ???
Yes, most of the time a good tuned 2 into 1 will out perform a set of duals, especially in the bottom end of the chart. However, I wouldn't let that stop me from getting duals. I put V&H Duals on my bike using the same mufflers that I had ran over 52k. I could tell a definite difference in the bottom end. I made some lollipop baffles (see below) for some added back pressure and gained back some of the loss. Like I said before, I ran the stock head pipe for 52k. It ran great with the Stage I burn. After adding duals, I had to put on a DFO to add a bit more fuel. It runs pretty stout now.
Lollipop baffle - Take a 1/4 bolt and cut the head off. Weld a 1 inch washer on the top of the bolt. Weld the washer hole shut. Drill a hole in the head pipe just in front of the muffler and put the lollipop in there. You can turn it to vary back pressure for tuning.

Big Sucker Stage II is overkill unless you are doing or planning a bigger build. Engine only sucks as much air as it needs and the Stage I or Screamin Eagle with K&N gives it what it needs. I ordered all of the individule parts of the SE (with chrome backplate) and the K&N filter and it cost me less than a BS Stage I or SE with the silver backplate.

Alwayse thought I would loose tq down low w/duals but it can be tuned out wouldent of believed it my self if they dident prove it on my bike and I dont think eny thing could be gained for me with a 2 into 1. Go true dual you will be happy and yes they are louder! I incresed tq all the way across the rpm range switching from stock head pipes to tru dual head pipes with the same slip-ons.
