Vance and Hines power duals worth it?
Had my 2011 RGC with 103 now for over 700 miles. Dealer put on stage one SE air filter and SE mufflers. I went ahead and got some black V/H black power duals. Right now bike really runs great, some heat off cat but not unbearable. Good idea to continue with mod and race tuner?

I installed them to get rid of the cat and the heat that comes with it.
Not sure where you're located but traffic around here can be a real pita and a bitch in the summer. I found my bike would get really hot on the right side right where the cat was. The PD's all but eliminated that problem as well allowing the bike to breathe a bit better. Bumped up the sound on the pipes a bit as well. Didn't need to remap either. It was worth it to me but I doubt any bike that didn't have a cat would benefit much.

Do yourself a favor and resell that Power Dual. I had one and although it looked good, that was about it. The power chamber hangs down so low on the right side that it will scrape the ground when going around right handers, and no, my bike was not lowered. I changed it out for Fuel Moto headpipe with cross chamber. Very quality piece, very impressed. Re dynoed bike and got more tq and hp than the V&H power dual.

Tuner told me he couldn't get the sniffer up the muffler and was going to get an adapter to remove the 02 sensor and sniff from there. He never did get back to me although I called a couple of times. Am I missing something per your question?

your mufflers are stock ? meaning the orginal ones from Harley ? i know one side of the stock mufflers looks like its almost blocked off... most of the heat comes from the left side muffler when stock.
