Default Headers & Slip ons

Has anyone seen the S&S Power Tune Duals with the Rinehart 4 inch on a 2014 Ultra with the Twin Cooled 103? Just wondering if its worth the money..... Heard you lost a little power and torque with the V&H True Duals.

Thanks for any info.

Any true duals will lose a little down low in the power band, but makes up for it on top.
Rineharts are loud, my son had them on his Road King.

I started out with the Stage I download and the 4" Rineharts , added a S&S intake then added the S&S Power Tune True Duals, everything was an improvement in performance, best money spent was the headers, great performance gain, did not notice any low end power loss.
End result is , stage 1 download, S&S intake, S&S power tune true duals with 4" Rineharts.
Bike has awesome power off idle and high rpm.
Acceleration at highway speeds without downshifting is great, and pulls hard without downshifting.

You will not lose power from stock.

A 2-1 can have a bit more tq
A 2-2 can have a bit more hp

TQ is what you can feel when you grab the throttle...

I am a fan of TRUE duals, I like the sound.

I don't believe from the seat anyone can really tell those couple of numbers you may stand to gain.

On the dragstrip day to day? Yean, may make a difference, but on the streets, I doubt it.

My 2 cents.

Just a note, the Ultra isn't twin cooled, only the Limited is. I run V&H Power Duals, with SuperTrapp Fatshots. I have the 4" Rineharts with V&H Dresser Duals on my Road King. I prefer the SuperTrapps on the touring bike that I want to hear the radio etc better.

Remember though, that the S&S aren't "true duals". They look like it, but actually have a hidden crossover. This is to reduce or eliminate power loss. That's the reason I am going with them over the RC or VH duals.

Thanks Gunny, She's a Limited. Left that out on the first post.

Hers a little twist, though........... Just spoke with a buddy who has a set of 4 inch RC Component Excaliburs he'll sell me for 150 bucks. Only about 2K on them and they look good. I like the Reinharts, but 150 versus 500 is hard to pass up.

Anyone see any issues if I mount them in combo with the S&S heads?

I'm running the rc 3.5's on mine and like them a lot! At $150 thats a steal I'd be all over that!
