Please someone explain. I currently have Samson's straight pipes on my FTXD(Superglide). I am moving up to a SERK and want pipes as well. I have been looking around and just need something explained.
1. I saw the dyno w/ V&H pipes output higher than R&H TD. Plus price is lower. Including chrome shield 220 degrees around the pipe from top to bottom. So if you want better torque and pull on the low end; thats the way to go?
2.However, you can spend $899.00 for RH TD plus $30.00 for quieter baffles? Get the same results?
3. I do not want the cross over. I want performance w/ power; unless that is the way to go.
Any help would be great!
Check prices at Eastern Performance, either on e-bay or directly.
HP numbers are typically higher for the RH TD's, with some loss of lower to mid range TQ. If you want the most TQ, go with a 2 into 1 pipe. There are some compromises, no matter what pipe you choose...it all depends on how much "the look" is important to you compared to total HP/TQ numbers. Your butt won't be able to tell a whole lot of difference, IMO.
Trust comparing two dyno sheets about as far as you can throw your scooter. The only valid test is same bike, same dyno, same day, same tuner, same temp/relative humidity, same correction factor, etc.
