Default True duals on a Softail

Any member have a set of these on their bike? If so,what manufacturer and their opinion of how they like or dislike them. Do not want excessive noise.How is the radiant heat from them?Looking to get a set of Freedom, Sampson or V&H for my 2000.Maybe a member has a used set for sale(or even just the head pipes).Thank you in advance.

I have Freedom 4" TD's. They are AAA+ quality, sound great, lowered the heat index on the right side of my scoot but as with any TD's, the left exit side can get you. But to Freedoms credit, the left pipe hugs the frame & primary so it's fine unless I lay my leg on it. Did I say they look great too!

I have V&H Softail duals on my 09 Heritage! My only criticism of them is that I think the rear pipe sticks out too far as it comes over the transmission. Aside from this, I like them!!!
