Here is my dyno. Only gain is from 2k to 2,500. After that my old exhaust catches up and they stay pretty close until 5200 where my old exhaust starts to pull away. The net result is a 3 hp and 3 tq loss at the peak.

Read the notes on dyno sheet, done 3 months apart, 10 degrees hotter with the MGS True Duals, humidity levels way different. I 've seen bigger differences than this with the exact same set-up pulled back to back on the dyno as the bike's temperature changed. I'd be willing to bet if done on the same day, on a true apples to apples comparison, the difference may go the other way. To be accurate, the pulls need to be done the same day on the same dyno with the same running conditions.

Well, at least I hope you enjoy the sound, looks and power of your system. Thanks for being a valued customer, if you have any concerns, please give us a call.

Overall I am satisfied. Much better sound than my old system. Just gonna have to get some chrome tips.

But, I'm a future customer one way or the other. (Retiring at the end of the year, riding time is bound to increase then!)

Actually that's pretty impressive that MGS is right there with them. The Cobra Power Port is 2-1-2 design that looks like a true dual design. MGS definately put a lot of R&D into their pipes.

I've been interested in the MGS T/D for a while and noticed that they also have a new Cross Under System available now. Any body have any info on the cross under T/D System.

I called Chris at MGS. He told me that the cross under system does not perform as well as the standard TD. So I ordered the standard TD. They also have a "loud" version. He told me they are surprising quiet at idle and cruising speeds, but "bark" if you rev the throttle. Giving that a try too. My last set of MGS TD only lasted @ 3 weeks. While trailering, I was rear-ended by a semi. 2 bike Kendon trailer, the truck missed me, but his trailer fish-tailed and ran over the left side of my trailer. Tore my '08 FLHX from the mount and shoved it into the back of my wife's mini-van. Her FLSTFI survived with minor damage. NO INJURIES !

So I am starting over with a new FLHXS.
