Exhaust performance question.
I have a 2007 SG with a 113 CI. The current exhaust is a Vance and Hines 2/1 Pro pipe, the bike runs strong through out the rpm range.
I have been wanting a true dual exhaust system with Vance and Hines High Output mufflers for a more balanced cosmetic look.
Any educated guess on the hp/torque loss with this system, if any?
Thanks

^^^^ This! I have a dragos 2:1 and they offer a ghost pipe, besides the, performance, look and sound it was the final reason I purchased their pipes.

Or you can look into some type of 2-1-2 header like vance and hines power duals, fuel motos header, or fulsac. I run the v&h power duals. Im happy with them. I like the looks of duals better myself so performance wise goin with that type of header was my choice. In theory at least in my head should give a similar performance as a 2 into 1 by creating back pressure in the cross over.

I didn't feel any loss, some gain I think. Went from stock 2-1 With a cat,and SE nightstick, hated the sound ,Changed to an American Custom Bomber, Finally got these S&S Power Tune Duals with V&H 4" Classic turn downs, and a Power Vision tuner. Looks, Sounds, and runs GREAT!

Thanks you all for the responses. To utilize the newer power dual system used on the later models requires that I switch out to a later oil pan, in addition I have a frame stabilizer mounted underneath where the crossover pipe would travel, not a major issue' just more investment and installation time. I am off to Ohio Bike Week on Friday, last year several of the major exhaust vendors were to trying to separate me from my wallet, just maybe...
