I am deciding on my next exhaust. I love the look of the true duals, but have read about the loss of low end torque. Has anyone ever tried using torque cones with this combo?

I used TC's with drag pipes years ago and they worked great.

Just wondering.

 

You would be better off putting lollipop baffles in front of the mufflers.

 

Thanks...just curious.

 

Python just came out with a true dual system give them a call to see if they put the ar cones in the head pipe. If they did they could answer your question. This spring I will be installing cones into a 03 ultra to see how it would work but sorry no input at this time. But V&H says they tried it and did not see any thing. That is on their web site.

 

Thanks.

I also read some where that TC's would mess up the fuel injection. Don't remember exactly why.

 

I've been running TC's on my Samson true duals for almost 50,000 miles. Without them there is a major power loss/torque loss on the bottom end...feels like there is a giant weight attached to the bike.
Mileage wise there hasn't been any change from my stock pipes that I started out with. Now I'm upgrading to a 95" motor so I'll have to wait and see what happens with the power/torque when I'm done. I am running a PCIII also to compensate for the freer flow air/exhaust systems.

 

Jack that is exactly what I have been looking for. I know Torque cones work because I ran them for a couple of years with drag pipes. The thing I like about them is because they are both equal distance from each exhaust port you truely balance the motor as far as back pressure goes. I remember after I put them on feeling the bike ran so much smoother. Has no efffect of the loudness or sound.

Thanks
