Vance & Hines Power duals - can't tune on FLHX

    Got a set of power duals and high out put slip ons trough my local harley dealer in Perth, bought as a new package with bike.

    Only problem is they can not tune the bike with these power dual headers on. Have swapped different slip ons and still can't tune in. Seems there is not enough bottom end back pressure, ok at 2500 rpm and above. So they have put the original headers back on with my high output slip ons and presto it runs beautiful.

    Has anybody here had trouble with the power dual header pipes?

    Be interested to hear how it goes after a while. Have been considering adding air and cams to my 103 SG. Only has pipes and PC V at present, but runs very well.

    I had the same problem with the Power Dual for my Road King 2010

    After analysis it was the O2 sensors were not well placed or not sufficiently in contact with exhaust gases
    Therefore impossible to make tunes

    The difference are the sensors after 2009, for example, 2010 and 2011 are different and smaller, not the same diameter. Their operation is
    completely different
    I asked the question at V&H and no satisfactory answer

    Maybe you are luckier than me but we must try and keep me informed

    that's right, when I asked at V&H said it to me never had this problem
    I'm curious that someone ask this question

    What can be done, do you have an idea
    Can they desoldering, or can they be cutting

    Vance & Hines basically told me the same, they have not had any issues with this set up using their 'Fuel pack'
