Default 103 sg exaust?

okay, still trying to figure my best options on my exaust, i really like the looks of the vance & hinesdresser duals header system ( true duals ) with some high out put mufflers maybe, or monster ovals...im looking for the performance first, looks second, and sound...but their all equally important...i was going to go with the rinehart true duals, wich is on my build sheet, but i don't think i like the looks of them, goes out the back cylander straight to the left......i also want to hear the stereo on the interstate, but want a real deep rumble....any thoughts will be great help...

If you click on my video, you'll see the V&H Dresser Duals and Monster Rounds. Also installed an Arlen Ness Big Sucker and tuned it with a TTS Mastertune,

Try a good 2 into 1 and you'll forget all about those duals. It'll give you low end grunt right where you need it. I don't know of anybody who went back to duals from a 2 into 1 looking for more power.

I've got a 2011 RGC with the 103. If you want performance and sound go with the V&H power duels with their Hi Ouputs. I also did the SESuper race tuner and the SE breather. Got dyno'd at 80hp and 98 ft lbs of torq. Sound is awesome.

I agree with BMF. The power duals have a crossover that provides better low end power than the true duals. I called V&H before buying and that was their feedback. I use them with V&H twin slash 4" rounds. The sound is great if you like it on the loud side. Vow intake with a Fuelpak and the bike runs great. The Fuelpak is not very configurable, but it is cost effective if you don't plan to change the set up.

on my streetglide with the 103 motor, i'm using the vance & hines 2 into 1 pro pipe, and i am really glad i made that choice. it sounds great, and this exhaust system looks really sharp too. i would not even consider going back to twice pipes after having my pro pipe.

Greasemonkey the pic I have set is not of the current setup. The V&H power duals look great. I will try and update my pic or at least post some new ones. You can also go the V&H web site and look at the setup. Increase was about 17% in both HP and Torq.

Mine are duals. The 2 into 1 actually produce more power but I like the looks of the duals.

I'm running the Power Duals with the Monster Rounds. With the TTS on a stock 103, I'm getting 78 HP and 93 Tq.
BMF.....you got some good dyno numbers.
