you will never feel it if you went 1/4 mile in your vette at say 14 flat then you do some work to it spends thousands and then run a 13.8
you can feel that??? i don't think so and not 3 lbs of torque on a bike
i can feel the difference between my 120 merch on my custom vs my 110 sesg but were not talking that
he changed mufflers and felt it .......it's just my opinion

33 respondents so far and Steve at Fulsac is looking confident. Just so you all know (part) of my decision on the choice of exhaust, x-pipe or dual header and tune for my new ultra will come from this poll. I spoke to Steve in Lake H  Monday and he is very customer friendy and appears to know how to tune.

on my 09 SERG, i went with the decatted header and the 2.25 Fullsac baffles.  As others have said, nice rumble, but not too loud.  I then swapped the header for the VH Power Duals.  Not much of a difference.  On my 12 SESG, i wanted something a little different.  went with the VH Power Duals again but decided to install VH High Output cans.  A lot louder and much deeper rumble.  after a few hours in the saddle my ears ring. My bedroom is over the garage and the Mrs tells me that the rumble shakes the bed.  If I were to do it again.......not sure.  Steve @ Fullsac is a class guy and very helpful.  He has solid products and excellent customer service.  Good luck

V&H High Output Mufflers look great  :2vrolijk_21:
but provide a nasty dip on the dyno curve with that baffle design

I've ordered the V&H Power Duals along with Rush 4" Big Louie mufflers.  If you haven't heard these, you really need to find someone running them and give a listen.  I thought my D&D 2 into 1's sounded great, but a bit too loud.

Running V&H Power Duals and Hi-Output muffs. on 103", 117 hp/112tq. I don't have a torque dip on my dyno sheet, it runs great except when it's  oil temp gets to 250+ and then it will ping a couple of times when I twist it too hard...

I finished up an install last night of my Fuel Moto Jackpot Pro Touring Exhaust, it looks great, went on fairly well without any true issues. Sound is good, a little raspy when throttled, almost like a rice burner. Nice low note at idle. I have a X pipe so it doesn't have the "potatoe" idle too much. Used the Dyna Pro auto tuner with a preset map by Fuel Moto and it started instantly, ran good, and no decel pop even when down shifting. So far so good, power is good too. I will have to ride more to see if I have any complaints.

Yes and it is due to the volume without distortion increase that I have AFTER installing the Boom! Audio speakers for my '11 Road Glide Custom. Prior to that I couldn't have heard it with a full helmet 4 sure, and I can now, went 80's+ w/FF and shield cracked an inch and listened to talk radio as well as music just fine.
Just speakers, no amp...

a few pounds of torque you can feel 3lbs of torque come on seriously?????

Feels a little slower pulling from say 2400 rpm to 3400 rpm with out a down shift.

Also why spend money for an exhaust and tuner to loose torque?

Thought the reason to tune and do high flow air filter and exhaust was to make more power.  At least it is for me.

I agree, and it is where you need or want the torque most.

I tried the Full sac x pipe and 2" cones, liked the sound. To much restriction in the cross over. Tried the Dragos 2 into one with 3" baffles. Like the preformance. Now I have the MGS step tuned true duals. The sound is what I was looking for and the preformance was up from the other two sets of pipes that I tried. All are very good pipes and I cannot say anything bad about any of them. I just had to try them all to get what suited me.
