I have had the second ECU reflash completed on my bike with code C4B. Now I presently have on bike the Cobra Tri Ovals but have been thinking of changing over to the Freedom Performance true duals. I do not think I need to send unit back to Ivan I believe in this flash it covers this modification. Am I right on that one?

Second question out there for you all is for the people who have the Freedom Performance True Duals. How do you like them and do they help with some performance? Do you think they have a sweeter tone than the Tri Ovals. Over all give me your impression of the Freedom Performance True Duals? Your help will be appreciated very much.

I would suggest giving Ivan a call about the error code. Can't help you on the True Duals.

Not an error code that is Ivan's code for the ECU

Greetings,

On point one, believe that you are correct. No additional-change in flash needed.

On point two; listened to a Vaq with FP true duals a few weeks ago. VERY DEEP and nice sounding system. I do not have the words to describe, but easily the best sounding system on a Vaq/1700 my ears have had the pleasure... The owner did comment that the bike pulled hard and seat of the pants felt better. He is (was) NOT Ivanized (I put in some positive plugs for IVAN during that conversation.).

If Santa leaves me a bundle of cash, FP True Duals would be at the top of the list...

Ride safe,
Smokier

FP True duals

I have FP True duals on my Vaquero and I absolutely love the way it sounds. It has a deep rumble at idle and a nasty bark when you get all over it. I had a pro pipe before the FP True duals and I didn't care for it so I sold it to Smokier. The true duals do have less ground clearance but it was worth it for that sound. Just my opinion.

FP True duals

Oh and I forgot to say my seat of my pants dyno showed no loss or gain in power. I can still spank my buddies 103 streetglide so I am happy!

Just received mine today from Ebay through Riders Depot. I have Cobra Tri Ovals on now but wow the chrome work on these are much better than Cobra and workmanship I would say is very outstanding. I going to love the sound come spring from these and the updated look for sure.
