It is true that 2-1 pipes will give you the most power. It is also true that the stock pipes are supposedly more power than the duals. It all depends on how much tiny torque you are willing to lose. I love the looks of the duals and I am not concerned about losing a little bit of torque of the looks and the loss of heat on the right side. Personal preference.

In a word.....NO[8D]
Unless you have a large inch motor, then tru-duals win. Do your build as a package using all the parts that compliment each other. A couple of pounds of torque or a few horseies are huge on a bike. 5 foot pounds or 5horse make a big difference.

The V&H Dresser Duals are nothing more than Drag Pipes for a bagger......

No gain in HP/Tq, but loud as heck....

2:1 - Rinehart (Great sound and perf), Bassani Road Rage (Same), D&D Fat Cat (Same)

Duals (True) - Rinehart ('nuff said).....

Default RE: true duels

I have Rinehart true duels for now but I'm switching over to the D&D Fatcat 2 into 1 with My new build.I've talked to everyone that I can find to talk about this build and all of them told Me to get rid of the duels if I want some real torque.I'm not crazy about the look either but I love HP an torque so I'm gonna do the swap.I've ran a 2 into 1 on all My other bikes and I know they perform.I guess it just depends on what you want out of your ride,looks or performance.

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
