My only gripe about my PDs is that V&H just HAD to put their logo in the crossover.....LOL

Default V&H Pwr Duals

I have them with the HO slip ons and the combination is phenominal. I havent had the dyno cause the pipes were installed at purchase and i just now got to 1000K. The dyno is set to happen in a couple of weeks. I'll report back.

For an 09 stock(no cat) Head-Pipe the gain would not justify the expense.
Waste of $$$ IMO. That is also according to 2 sponsors of this site as well.
In fact many guys want the stock 09 pipes.
You could spend your $ better on a good tune(r).

I like my V&H power duals. Running (mr )monster rounds, was thinking of going to the V&H slash cut http://www.vanceandhines.com/store/t.../slipons/16741 which they are 105 db and the mr mufflers are 95 db.
I had a fatcat on my 07 flstf, and it would be interesting to see what the dyno sheet would look like power duals to the D&D.
I like torque, and know that the D&D would make more of it- I like the look of the duals to much to change over LOL.

Im running Power Duels with 4" Black Out mufflers and Im happy with the look and power results. I wanted to go with a black exhaust system and at the time this was all I could find.

If Fuel Moto had Jackpots available in black (they were out of them and had a long est delivery date) I probably would have gone FM ceramic head pipe and black jackpot mufflers.

My only comment about the Power Duels is they do scrape on hard rt turns and I think going with any of the head pipes that use the stock heatshields dont (FM or Fullsac)
