Default headers

Want to get that old harley sound from my 2013 ultra limited. Think I am deciding on Vance and Hines Turn Down slip ons. After listening to numerous sound clips... Still not sure about headers though. Want to lose some heat and am told the cat on stock adds so much heat and headers will cure that. So power duals or dresser duals? Like the look of dresser duals better.. but will I notice low end torque loss? Any thoughts or experience would be great help!

Check into the Cobra Power Ports or the S&S I think they are called Power Tune Duals, both of them will give you a true dual look. Personally I have the Cobras they have a H pipe for their connection. I am happy with the fitment, quality, and performance. Both exhaust are kind of between a true dual and a cross over set up. So you will still add more torque then with stock but not as much with Power Duals, you will also add more HP then you would with the Power Duals. To me they are the best of both worlds for a true dual look. Here is a pic. One more thing you will get a deeper tone with the two I mentioned. Cobra made in the USA and life time warranty.

If you decide to go with the Power Duals, PM me. I have a brand new header that V&H sent me after mine had a defect. Again, PM me if you have any interest and I can fill you on why I'm selling.
