I have a 97 Ultra,motor is built alittle,310 cams.
True duals-- vance and hines header pipes with
screamin eagle mufflers. Don't have dyno numbers,
pull a trailer alot loaded to the GILLS and ride double
up, I think it does really well. Put your true duals on
and increase your cam. Just a thought.
if i felt like i needed more torque...i'd first add torque cones....then i'd STROKE IT ...true duals belong on a bagger IMO...90ftlbs @ 2000rpm, plenty of grunt
Yeah, with the horsepower and torque you are running, I can see why you would NEED to have more power
Thank's for all the feed back, torque cones was going to be my next question, I think I'll tryem before I get rid of my pipes, my dyno guy said he would let me try a different set of pipes and if I didnt likem I didnt have to takem

Torque cones go in the wrong end of the pipe to do any good. You would be better off with some lollipop baffles in the other end.
When I put on V&H Duals, I could tell a definite loss on the bottom end. I made some lollipop baffles and put them in front of the mufflers. I also had to add a DFO on top of the Stage I to enrichen the fuel circuit. The bike runs pretty stout now.
My lollipops are 1" washers welded on to 1/2" studs. You can turn them like vanes to crudely tune your exhaust.
I have Hooker True Duals on my bike and feel plenty of torque. Some say you loose a little torque with the True Duals, but I dont think it is anything but a dyno could tell. The looks far outweigh the lose!!! Besides I like having two hookers hanging on my bike lol
I ran Rinehart True Duals on my 95" 03 RKC, made HP 102 and TQ 115 with other engine mods, no torque problems at all and still got 45mpg if I wore a wrist splint.
In the middle of building a 103" 07 Ultra, and sticking with Rineharts, looks and less heat are important to me. If I loose a couple of foot pounds, I will live with it - am hoping to hitTQ 120 -125 with this build.
My buddy just had the same build as me done, identical bikes, same builder. He has stock header pipes with V&H ovals. He got 96.5 HP and 101 torque, compared to my 101.10 HP and 105 torque. Yes I got slightly better peak numbers but he has 15 ft pounds more torque at 2500 rpm! That makes for a pretty snappy bike with considerably more grunt right where you need it. My rineharts are getting **** canned later this week for a fat cat with quiet baffle to see what this puppy will realy do!
saw a bike somewhere with a 2 into 1 pipe on the right, and a fake pipe on the left, from the back you could see no difference and from the left side as well. Can't remember where I saw it, but it was nice, best of both worlds, if I could only figure out how to do it. I am running sampson straight fishtails...maybe the worst you can run, but for me, the look is what I have to have. -Travis
