Still beating a "dead horse"

I'm posting this query on both boards.
Has anyone really compared (
on a dyno
) the Torque/HP between the
TBR
and
Cobra 6x6s
?
I can't believe that the TBRs make power compared to the Cobras.

I don't either. They are practically identical. Same design, diameters the same (looks the same anyway), lengths very close to the same if not exactly, both with baffles & without scavenging... If there's any meaningful difference on a dyno I don't know why. I'm thinking any differences would be in the testing methods and/or results interp.

I rode a friends valk with TBR and mine with Cobra seemed stronger. Now I know there are other factors, like mine is a '97 and a red and white. Hard to beat them

I thought the Two Bros that produce more hp referred to the somewhat strange looking (to me) aluminum pipes that you don't see very often. I would guess that they'd be lighter, too.

When in doubt, ride.
