I simply do like how these look.... so cool !

I bet my own Iron would look nice with these....even if mine is red. The black pipes simply do look good on an Iron.
Are these loud, or really loud ?

As I don't mind a bit of noise, but don't want to drive with earplugs !

I have been looking at the double barrel pipes myself. One question on the diesels, how is the heat on your right leg?

Form over function.
Your call.

Ground/cornering clearance and two into one header would be function.
Because of the Harley's weight, titanium header construction may not be worth the cost increase.

Form too many choices including slip ons.

Sound is a personal choice.

FWIW I also like the look of V&H Short Shots on a 48 and you have two sound baffle choices. Plus the cost seems in line with other choices.

Good luck with your decision.

Only bad when at a stop and I have to keep my foot on the brake.

thanks Rog48, I was about to pull the trigger on them yesterday but wanted to get some feedback on the heat issue.
