V&H Dresser Duals
So as I'm deciding on which headers to go with my Rinehart 4" slip ons, I so far like the looks of the V&H Dresser Duals. If anyone has this setup I'm intrested in knowing besides looks how to they perform and sound.

If you are solely doing the change for looks and sound do what tickles your fancy, however coming from first hand knowledge you will loose Some power. I had the stock decatted head pipe on the bike as part of my Stage 1 but since I had bought the dresser duals last year I thought why not put them on and see how they look and sound. Okay they look great and sound great with my RC Exhaust slip ons but I did lose power, how much I don't know but I could definitely feel it. So with all that said if the power loss isn't a big deal go with the duals..

No problem with V&H dresser duals
I put V&H Dresser duals (breathing through SE Street Cannons) and am quite happy with the looks and sound.
Didn't notice any loss of power - it seemed to stay about the same - although I haven't dynoed it - I am just judging by "feel".
I'd say go for V&H Dresser duals - they are cool!

I've had Dresser Duals on 6 touring bikes with Thundermax tuners and never felt like I left anything on the table. The True Duals may not Dyno as well as 2:1:2 or 2 : 1 but my riding style wouldn't know the difference.

I have the dresser duals with the 4" reinharts and am very happy with the sound. I also put the FP3 on with the V02 air cleaner and am also very happy with he performance too. Noticeable power increase and much smoother. V&H recommended map was the dresser duals with twin round slashdowns with standard baffle...

I have that setup on my 2014 SGS, Power Duels and 4" Rhinhaert slip ons. I do not think I lost power at all just the opposite feels and sounds great. Also using FP3 and SE intake

Fitted dresser duals with oval slip ons on my 110. After reading posts, was ready for a power loss. Guess what, on my butt meter, can't feel any loss at all. It runs better than standard. I did upload a decent map. No doubt they if on a dyno they probably lose low down torque, but I don't think most would notice.

I have the dresser duals with the 4 in. Rineharts on my bike. The look great and sound great. I felt no loss of power at all. I'm using a Power Vision on my bike. I had the dresser duals on my last two bike with VH mufflers on those. I felt no loss of power on them either.
