I never rode the bike with the stock pipes so I couln't tell you. But there's plenty of power on the bottom end. Is your bike injected or carb? On my cousins injected deuce when he pulled the baffles out of his short shot V&H he remapped. There is a seperate download for baffles or without for the power commander.

By the way we are planning some rides for the spring and summer. One is a weekday ride up to York, Pa for the H-D factory tour. I try to go every year. Your welcome to join us.

 

same here. i have vance and hines longshots without the baffles and have plenty of torque. i put the baffles in but it sounded sad.
