Default New Volusia pipes, what difference can I expect?

Hello,

A lot of people say they get better performance out of new pipe, like some Vance & Hines, plus a rejet on a Volusia. What kind of performance could I expect? Some of the pipes claim they raise the horsepower. Is it very noticible?

I was thinking about moving up to a bigger bike, but I rode a friends LC 1500 and although it had more top end, I couldn't tell that it excelerated a lot quicker, I could just go a little longer without shifting.
I rode an 1100 yamaha and could really tell much differnce.

Some have told me I'll lose some low end by changing pipes, but gain a little top.

Any suggestions? I appreciate any and all help!!!

Thanks,

JD
