the hps can on the slp single did not work on my 08 d8, it creates back pressure issues, it will work fine with the stock pipe.

As I understand, the aftermarket cans have insufficient backpressure. Well, in early free flow pipes for the VTX1800, there was a similar issue. Yea, I know that's comparing a 4S to a 2S. However, mu point is that the backpressure issue was solved with a mere washer suspended in the middle of the exhaust stream. Result was good sound (personal opinion) and controlled backpressure.

Will this work on the 2s cans that are reputed to drop HP due to lack of backpressure? I like the weight reductions but hate compromising the HP.

the slp single works real good..but you must clutch for it as well...geraing helps as well....call carls or slp for both....

according to carls..its a bit much for the stock pipe...I think it will pull it at lower elevations if you add some gears and maybe go a little stiffer on the primary spring..if you do go the slp single or clutch kit..hit up justin(snowjw) on here..he has em in stock and is great to deal with..I just ordered some more stuff from him and his prices and service are second to none....

since you have it try it...carl"s said it wouldnt want to rpm with that much helix on the stock pipe...I didnt put mine in until after I rode it with the single.then I put in the clutching...I have found even with the stock pipe but more so with the slp single that it wants to run 8300-8450 (8100-8300 with the stock pipe)anything less and it doesnt climb as good...

if it wont pull the r's ..slp make a spring just slightly heavier on top then stock..it shows it in the clutching chart in the instructions for the single pipe...but you should be good...
