I installed a set of vance and hines true duals of my street glide, noticed the little power dip around 2000-2500rpm, what can I do to get it back? maybe weld some sort of spacer in the baffle that will create pressure?

 

the lost crossover between the 2 exhaust tracts is the issue, not so much the backpressure.

Correct. It's the loss of exhaust scavenging that's killing your torque. Nothing to do but to go back to 2-1-2 or 2-1 pipes or live with it.

I just live with it, but my 103 has reasonable low end response to begin with. I don't know if it would be as easy to live with on a smaller engine.

 

Get the quited baffles the performance is better and they sound better

 

cool, it wasn't that noticeable till i put in a new cam then i felt a drop in power in the low end. I'll try the baffles.

 

Have had true duals on Two Harleys.... a 02 Road King and an 06 Electra glide... No problem with low in torque for me on either of these 88 motors.... I am in process
getting True Duals on my 2011 Ultra Limited and I foresee NO problems on the 103. I am sure there is a slight lost of Torque, but not enough for me to have a problem.... Oh, yeah all these bikes had stage one air and PCIII and the 11 has PC-5, all mapped by Fuel Moto....... hdman

 

Sounds like it's related to the cam; don't know which cams you put in but the trade off is usually bottom end for mid range unless you do it as a 'thought out' package, parts with a history of complimenting each other

 

If you want more low end torque just add more cubic inches

 

Custom tuning helps as well.

 

If you haven't bought yet, you may want to consider the V&H Power Duals. I actually feel more bottom end torque. Of course I did the PCV, Python slip ons, and air cleaner at the same time.
