No one else with S&S power tune duals? They look similar to the VH dresser duals but with the hidden crossover which I like. I too am thinking about go the SS power tune duals route.

I dislike the way the collector looks on the V&H product is the only reason I have not purchased the product yet.
I have the S&S Power Tune Duals on a 2010 FLHX with 4" Rhineharts. I'd planned on going with V&H but wasn't wild about the look of the crossover. The local dealer suggested the S&S and showed me a couple sets installed. The system is very well built, fairly complete with excellent chrome quality. My only experience with V&H was a set of Big Shots on a metric bike. While I had no complaints with V&H, the S&S felt like higher quality gear.

As of today I am running the S&S power tune duals, with big sucker stage 1 A/C, Rinehart 4in. pipes and a Power Vision.

The headers look and fit great and of course the sound is incredible. The power chamber is about 4in long and 1 to 1.5 in. wide it is completly hidden by the heat shield.

If you like there look then ther is no reason to not go with the power tune duals, IMHO.

I have been running the Power Duals for a year and find them to be a great header. I have an 02 and switched from True Duals and a PC III to the Power Duals and a TMax. There is also a 98" kit with cams and heads on there. This cleared up a lot of tuning issues with stumbles and surging. The only issue I have is there seems to be some flow issues with the back cylinder between 1500 and 2100 rpm. It just won't settle in to a consistant tune in auto tune. Front cylinder is good. It may just be a reverberation issue with a less restrictive run to the muffler. Nothing major, and you don't notice it while riding, just when you check the autotune offsets. Overall a great product and a reasonable way to add an O2 sensor/autotune setup to an earlier bike. By the way this outperformemed in everyway the true duals! -Tom

Good to hear positive feedback on the S&S power tune duals. I ordered this set up last week (S&S Power tune duals and 4inch Rineharts), except I'm going with the SE Heavy breather and SE race tuner.

Anyone with videos of the S&S power tune duals w/ the 4inch rineharts in action?

I have been running the S&S duals on my '09 FLHRC with D&D 4 inch cans..... tremendous sound improvement, ( I was running the D&D's on the '09 stock headers before). They have been on 9000 miles now with no problems. Like all things S&S...great quality and performance.... no "tinny" V&H sound.....
