BHD got it right.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Think logically for a second.  :-/ Look at the rear head u-turn of a true dual set up and imagine how the flow can be equal to the front head... If the true dual was actually better, don't you think the moco would make it original equipment?  8-)

I had the Rineharts for about two months. I didn't like 'em. The left side stuck out a tad further than a short guy like me likes, and I kept burning the back of my left pant leg on them when backing up. And the sound when touring was too much for me. So I went for the Hooker true duals and was pretty satisfied. I did get tired of the sound on long tours. So when I broke some of the adjuster bolts, I dumped the Hooker slip ons and went and picked up a set of FullSac mufflers. This has been the best combo for my build and tune so far. However, I do see a set of D&D FatCats in the future.

Until then I'll stick with these cats.

Well Dog I suppose that could be but I was there with the intentions of buying an exhaust system ...they had incentive to lead me in that direction BUT the Tech said that on the 103 that his experience had shown what I mentioned above ..now he may be BSing ...but if he was he talked himself out of a sale ... maybe he was just being down right honest ...would'nt THAT be refreshing.. Ill know for sure after the dyno ..

WAS YOUR 03  SERK UPGRADED TO A 103. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  THESE SERK'S CAME STOCK 95". [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  ALOT OF MEMBERS MADE THE SAME MISTAKE YOUR ABOUT TO MAKE, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND PURCHASED UP- GRADED SLIP-ONS TO USE WITH THE STOCK CROSS OVER HEADER. I FOUND THE RINEHARTS TO BE A MUCH BETTER STREET SYSTEM THAN ANY SLIP-ON, ON THE MARKET. LIKE HUBBARD SAYS... "THERE ENDETH LESSON". ;)

'03 SERK came w/the 103 ci Motor (rode one that my buddy has and was the deciding factor in my getting my SEEG). The '02's had the 95ci motor.

Bama;
Your numbers are good but your AF is way rich at idle and at upper RPM's A good tuner should be able to get the AF line almost flat at the 13.2-13.5 area.

Having had a set of Hookers............and since Rineharts are friggin' everywhere............I'd go with Hookers.  I never had one problem with those pipes, but I'm always hearing of folks having problems with their Rineharts.  I'm not saying they're bad.......it is just that I've "heard" of plenty of problems, and it seems like most FL touring bikes are wearing Rineharts.

Bama,

If you paid for that tune, I would definately be concerned over the work performed.   that fuel line should be much closer to horizontal flat line or being slightly richer on the top end of the rpm scale.

The numbers you obtained are within reason given the type of day, temp, humidity.   I personally like the sound of either the hooker or the rinehart the reason I went with the rinehart is the warranty, the chrome and the sound.   They are also a stepped pipe which provide the power in the mid range and top end.    In the case of the hooker, one of my buddies has them on his roadking and they sound fantastic and when its dark out and he backfires they shoot a blue flame out the tailpipe which is pretty cool.

When compared heads up the Rineharts have always produced better numbers on the dyno for me.   Over the last 6 to 8 months with the rear pipe mount change they are having little issues with the pipes and if you happen to have an issue and call rinehart they have always been stand up and very responsive to any issues.  For that Bub gets my money.  In the 2 into 1 case its D&D or Bassani for the numbers.

I hope I'm not too late here,  but this site loves Reinharts..........they do sound good,  but the Hooker True Duals sound better,  perform better and are tunable (try to tune a set of brand B.....what you get is what you get,  unless you buy multiple sets of baffels and tune your a$$ off).  I LOVE my Hookers.  Go with Hookers,  squeeze those suckers off like 3/4 closed,  put a PCIII on that bad boy and really piss off the guys that have $4-5K worth of mods on their bikes.........Don't believe me........come to So.Cal and try to catch me....._beagle

You're gettin obnoxious you know that don't you bro. I mean once, ok, twice yeah yeah, three times shut up already will ya, but man you just don't quit with this. It's your motorcycle do what you want with it. But shut up already ok bro ? Man some people just don't know when enough is enough, you tell em and it's a big waste of breath, they keep goin on and on and on and never really sayin anything you know what I mean. It's like they're think whatever they've got to say the world just can't wait to hear it or something. Drives me nuts you know. You'd think they invented the wheel or something the way they just keep harpin on a subject, or maybe they just like the sound of their own voice. Hey that's it brother, why don't you put your lips on that sucker and blow off some of this hot air you seem to have in endless supply and -- - - - - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] Smiley jumping emoticon means I don't really mean any of this and actually I agree with my most of the time favorite brother  [size=24]NOT !

Man is there an emoticon of a bull leaving a pie in the field ?  Should be, because that's what the above thread was. 100% Grade A Meadow muffin. Cowpie. Road apples.  [smiley=oops.gif]
