True Dual Tip - 720 days old
Many have asked about true dual exhausts for Harleys. There are some advantages and some disadvantages to the systems.
True duals will loose a bit of torque on the bottom end from the loss of scavenging but some like them for looks and sound in any event. It's a personal preference for the most part. They will also remove some of the... Read more

88 Mufflers On A 96 Engine - 141 days old
Some confusion on this subject....
It depends on the type of muffler that comes from an 88 as to whether it can be used on a 96.
Keep in mind that some of the older 88 mufflers were the same muffler type with maximum flow through both mufflers and both the same part numbers in some cases, usually the ones without the dimple for the... Read more
