I just took the V&H true duals off my 07 heritage this spring.
Loved the sound and looks for sure..beautiful pipes but.....the frickin heat from the LH pipe where it comes over the primary is a killer.
Especially if in stop and go traffic, I had a fuel manager on also.
If I was too do it again though it would be the v&H also...you lose torque with these pipes and torque...is what counts!

I love the look and sound of the true duals with either the fishtails or tapered tips. I have a basically stock 2003 FLSTCI. I have the bag guard bars on. I plan to add passenger floorboards as well.
I've seen a couple brands but would be interested in knowing more about who makes complete sets (head pipes and mufflers, etc.) and any thoughts on which are the best and price points. If anyone is willing to share their thoughts, I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, the true duals usually win because of looks and sound.
As for true duals, I think if you use slip-ons like the SuperTraps that have vertical baffles, will create and keep back-pressure so you don;t loose the ponies and torque.
I'm with you, 2:1's. got my heart set on the Roadhouse... and can;t get out of my head with RB racing LSR 2:1 either.....

DONT DO IT. unless you have an engine modified stage 2 or 3 the loss of TQ and the way the bike runs is not as good as 2 into 1 or 2 into 2 with crossover. Maybe the new style from the touring bikes will come out for the softail. I have hooker true duals and as soon as i get the funds i am going to 2 into 1. I am sure many that have true duals will have a coment.

Sure, you'll loose torque compared to an aftermarket 2-into-1 pipe, or a 2-into-2 with a crossover. But the stock Heritage pipes are already 2-into-2 without a crossover. Just like true duals. So he wouldn't be losing any performace compared to the stock pipes. But he wouldn't get as much performace as you would with a 2-into-1.

On a stock Heritage Softail Classic??? Where is there a crossover from one pipe to the other? The old Evos had one, but not the new Twinkies. Or are you thinking of the Springer Classic? That has duals with a crossover.
