Default Stock headers or true duals?

I just installed V & H dresser ovals, love the sound and noticeable performance. I have the headers for true duals. Are the true duals going to be louder? Will the duals give more performance or should I leave as is with the stock headers?

Keep the stock headpipe... The loss of bottom end, and overall performance on the true duals install is extremely noticeable... 'specially the V&H Pipes....

Not stepped like like the Rinehart pipes....

Default Duals

It will be louder in stereo,look better,be cooler and you will lose a little on the bottom but worth it IMHO.
