Kevin, I have a question about these. I have the V&H Twin slash cut slip-ons currently installed on my trike with the stock header. I plan to change the head pipe out over the winter. Could I use these and mitigate the "lose of HP/TQ with dresser/true duals" that I read about and still keep the sound I want from them? I'm still knocking about and researching between the Dresser/True duals and Power duals.
Thanks,
Brian
Hey Brian,
The TTI's will increase the low and mid range torque on any open exhaust (where you can see from one end of the slip-on to the other).
They will also make a bit mellower, deeper tone.
With the Power Duals you will have a bit more lower & mid range torque than the Dresser Duals. Both of them will get a bump with the TTI's. So your best power would be with the Power Duals and the TTI's.
However, the difference between the two, both the the TTI's, will not be that great. Less than 5%, probably closer to 2-3%. So if you like the sound of the Dresser Duals better, you may very well find that to be the better choice for you.
I am running True Duals on my Softail...it is at a small sacrifice in max low and mid range power, but it is worth it to me for the look and the sound.
One other factor...many times with true duals (like the dresser duals) there will be a flat spot in the power. With the TTI's that flat spot will Not be there.
Hope that helps.
Kevin
