I'm ready to order a header for my bike and I have a question. I'm trying to decide (like everyone else) between 2-1-2 and true duals. I'm running Cfr's and a concern of mine is blue ing my right side muffler over time. With my stock decatted header I would say 75% of my exhaust goes through the right side and I would like to change that. I like the look and performance of the v&h power duals but I'm not sure how evenly it distributes exhaust gases? The s&s power tuned true duals are another option and by design maybe they do a better job of distributing the exhaust? Can anyone with either of these pipes let me know how well these header do of sending heat to the left side to share the load? Maybe true duals would be my best option, I just hate to give up the torque becouse motor work is on my checklist so it seems alittle counter productive? Please share your thoughts!

 

Our touring bikes haven't had a balanced exhaust system since Harley installed the balance pipe, over fifty years ago! In my modest experience you will certainly lose low/mid range torque with TDs, so I suggest you forget about equal flow and chose a 2-1 or 2-1-2 system you like the look and sound of. Having discovered the merits of a 2-1 recently I won't be going back!
