    Anyone know about the new Vance and Hines Powerduals for the new HD 09-11 exhaust system.

    Here is a photo of it.

    Got a buddy down the street that got em for his 2010 Screaming Eagle Street Glide, they sound good and look super good.
    He shows for a stock 110 motor they are makin decent power.
    93hp and over 100 tq.
    He said if you git them to git the slash cut mufflers for them.
    Heard they sux to put on. Takes a lot of time.
    A good set of 2in1 pipes will blow them away oh.

    I talked to the V&H people at Street Vibs in Reno this year and they said that they are going to come out with one for the two into one pipe.
    Been thinking about putting on a set. I watched the guy who putting on a set at the rally, even knowing what to do and doing many of them still took him a good hour.
    Yea they do look good and was wondering about the power increase. I know they get rid of the Cat in the stock header pipe.

    Even the guys from Demo days who ride their own Harleys say the 1st thing you need to go is git rid of the Catlyst converter. Between yer buddy Al Gore and the EPA they got the bike really stopped up.
    I would do this oh dude.
    Git a set of 09 header pipes. with the larger bung holes. And git a Thundermax with Auto Tune. Now with new pipes and the Thundermax.
    You've got rid of the catalyst converter and got a tuner on the bike and cooled it down.
    And with the Thundermax you have more fuel being delivered to the bike and it will run better.
    Now if you want to stick a set of Cams in the bike, the Thundermax will allow you to do anything to yer bike.

    Sit at the HD dealership yesterday with a buddy. They was trying to sell him a Sert and 4 hours of dyno time.
    He said I can go online and git a Thundermax for that much money.
    And never have to git my bike dynoed for a tune again.

    Think there is a dude called Dr. Vtwin at one time that was offereing a good deal on TM too.
    And if you git one, git the RACE model only.

    CB, while I know that the 2-into 1 puts out more power and torque ratios I just don't like the looks of it. To me it leaves the left side kind of naked looking. Just me as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like the dual look at each side so probably will look into the V&H Powerduals. Thanks for letting me know what your friend said about his.

    Well if I go that route I'm gonna put cams in it to. So I would want to dyno tune it anyway as that to me is the best possible tune I could get.
