I really wish people would stop saying that. Just because you would like a high performing engine, doesn't mean everyone will. If that's your argument, Harley's should come as a frame where you put everything else on it yourself. That way you buy your perfect bike without any wastage. "This should come standard." is about as useless a phrase as "Loud pipes save lives." No, it shouldn't, and no, they don't.

Cycle world, one week ago, performed a dyno on the street glide with the 131 and the stock 114. They also performed 0-60 and quarter mile. The stock 114 0-60 4.8 seconds., 131 4.0 seconds. Horsepower and torque are high rpm range. Too much money for little gain. It does get up to 100 mph faster but if there is a turn, ouch lean angle.

Techs have told me you need the back-pressure for the M8 performance and folks have come back to switch back to factory header pipes that have the catalytic converter because they lost performance going with straight pipes or 2-1-2 and 2-1 and is why the kit comes with the header pipe.

@joesainato80514 жыл бұрын
That’s because everyone and their preacher want to get the most out of their build. Why build a performance oriented bike and leave a bunch of full range torque and HP behind. If you read dynos and just look at peak numbers you are missing the boat especially on these big builds you can leave 15 foot pounds on the table in the sweet spot till the pipes can catch up sort of speak. Ultimately 2 into 2 or even shorter 2 into 1s will get those peak numbers it just takes longer. There’s plenty of information out there to see what goes on. On some baggers there are head pipe combos with dual exhaust that do perform very well on an M8 throughout the optimal rpm range. Hopefully that gave you a little idea of the differences
@z_rex464 жыл бұрын
Joe Sainato I understand the reasons why. I’ve seen dyno numbers and tests proving why 2-1 exhaust are better for performance. I just want to see what a performance build would do with a 2-2 exhaust for once. Ultimately it’s Block’s choice either way. I was just curious.

The stock plates didnt last more than 2 hours. I wish i would have seen this before hand. Also i upgraded to a 5.3 gallon tank and i get at best 100-110 mile range even with a dyno tune.

Correction: Block’s runout was at .006” measured using fuelings crankshaft runout tool with the compensator torqued to spec.
