I want to pipe in on the loss of power since there are a few questions. I ran the 28.5" fishtails and some 36" fishtails for a while. I immediately noticed a loss of power as I ran them without baffles. Prior to the fishtails I had V&H sideshots on my ride. The loss of power was not the reason I changed pipes again. It is difficult to say what is significant for someone else, but I still always felt that my bike had enough power. I got it dynoed with the fishtails and run a pcIII with se 203 cams. It ran quite well and I would still leave some of my buddies in the dust on their TC96"'ers. I cannot leave anything alone for too long and that is why I switched pipes. First I put on Hooker rebel longs and immediately I had far more power. In fact, the bike was completely different. then I switched to a set of Ultima up and out drag pipes. They look killer but I have decided to get a D&D fatcat 2 into 1. I am awaiting delivery, it should be about 2 weeks. I much prefer the looks of duals but want more power too. We'll see how the fatcat runs once it is on as I will write a full review.

 

its better to go straight to the fishtails from stock then from a performance pipe to fishtails. that way you dont realize what youre missing.
