Default What should I expect?

Just purchased a set of V&H Dresser Duals for my newly acquired 2012 FLHX. I currently have the stock head pipes with V&H Twin Slash Rounds Slip-on, SE Heavy Breather, & factory download. How much louder will the pipes be? Will I lose some low end torque? Will I need to remap? Nothing better then ordering new parts, like a kid on Christmas morning.

It's gonna be loud!!!!! Loud but deep....... You WILL need a breather and a remap or a fuelpak LCD to straighten her out. It's gonna sound good...... This was the first set-up I had on my 2013 SG. I loved the sound, but not the look.

I put the VHDDs with 4" Rineharts and they weren't too loud at all but couldn't tell you how the twin slash rounds are going to sound. I did lose some low end torque and had to modify/change my PCV map and got it back. The idle is just like a muscle car v8 and sounds awesome. I think they look great.
