I'm thinking of getting V&H header with TiForce Megaphone slip-ons. Has anyone ever had this combination?
TiForce website shows 186Hp with TiForce header 4-2-1 Megaphone full exhaust. Can I get the same power with V&H + TiForce Megaphone? (With a good dyno)
This combination will cost me around $900. The TiForce full 4-2-1 Megaphone will cost me around $800. Which one you go?
:confused2:
The perfect exhaust for your bike is...the one that you like the looks and sound of the most, seriously! Unless you're a dragracer lookin for every bit of power possible, the differences in full systems or the V&H header with whatever slipons are going to vary a few hp/trq, the powercurves will also not be the same. The only thing I would stay away from would be tips instead of mufflers, on a stock engine they don't perform as well due to less backpressure.
If you plan on having your bike dyno tuned by a good tuner, then you really have no worries. The bike is going to perform at it's best with that exhaust.
Can you tell the performance differences between two exhausts when riding the bike? Sometimes, but there are too many variables to consider.
The full Ti-Force will almost definately yeild you a little more power than the V&H and slipons. Is it enough to be a dramatic difference where you'de regert not buying it? Probably not.
I'll just guesstimate you'll get 5 more hp dyno tuned over the V&H setup you want, and the bike may be a little more responsive at certain rpm's.
If you could dragrace yourself with each exhaust, would you really see a difference? Not enough to matter if any.
Buy what you like the looks and sound of, have it properly tuned, and go riding. You'll be happier than having an exhaust that makes an overall insignificant amount more power, that was a second choice for you to begin with.
The Ti-Force is the better choice for a little more performance and a little less money, but if you like the V&H and duals better, then they are the ones that you should buy.
