Default New build, Dracula pipe sounds great!

I finally decided on engine mods.My bikes an 05 Roadking.It started life new with a stage 1 ac and Hooker slip ons,sounded nice but after riding my brother's...(aka on the forums.. Harleytuner).....bike, mine was ...well...boring as hell.I opted for Revolution 10.5:1 piston,Screamin Eagle updated cam plate and adjustable pushrods,Andrews TW55 cams,cylinders bored and head work from Roeder Racing,i wanted a different pipe......Fat Cats and Pro Pipes are everywhere around my area so i went with the Dragula from Dragos.Fuel management handled by a TTS Master Tuner.Got her back together,hit the starter....wow! This thing sounds great! We did a few heat cycles and hope to get it on the dyno at Roeder Racing for Harleytuner to set the airfuel for breakin. I'm looking forward to seeing the final numbers but,wherever the horse power and torque fall i'm sure going from a stage 1 88" to this will make the butt dyno very happy.Now for the bad news...the weather SUCKS!....Cant wait to ride this thing.The real bad part is,what do i say to the wife when she says " i thought you said it wont be much louder"? lmao!!! oh well,to late now.Thank you to my brother and best friend Chad.......aka Harleytuner.

I like my Dragula too!
Roeders Racing is well known in Northern Ohio for their HiPo work...

I am eagerly awaiting better weather too....

Thanks for the props bro. I'm glad you finally were able to "pull the plug" and get your build done. I can't wait to get it on the dyno (hopefully Saturday) and get that things set for you to break it in! Get about 500 miles on it ASAP and we'll see what it does. After hearing the Drago's pipe, I think my FatCat will be short lived.

Has anyone done any touring with the Dragula? I'm curious how it would be on long rides as I'm building a 120" for my 05 Eglide and this is one pipe I'm considering.

Thanks,
Rick

I have the exact same question. I want to change out my FuelMoto Jackpots for a Dragula but I have to have an exhaust that I can live with touring all day for 10-14 days at a time.

Thanks.
