Default true duals

New here. I've been shopping for true duals for my 07 heritage and leaning more towards v&h. I hear these get hotter than the norm. Can anyone help me with choosing the best sounding pipes?

Default V&H

I have V&H True Duals with Fishtails on my '09 Heritage Classic. Hot on my left leg...if I touch it. But, I'm not riding in shorts. Love the sound and the classic look.

samson true duals on my ride. They sound great IMO. Just a little higher pitch than V&H true duals. I have gotten lots of compliments on them around town. And the fishtails look alot better than V&H.

I have the v&h true duels w/fishtails on my 06 deluxe. they look great, but I do get quite a bit of popping on decel, but it kinda goes with the nostalgic look.

I want to put Bassani's on my Heritage, but the lowest price I have seen on them (headpipes and mufflers) is about $750. I love the look of these and have never heard a bad sounding Bassani exhuast system.

I just have a SE heavy breather with a PowerCommander V. I had minor popping at first but called fuelmoto and they told me what numbers to adjust and now no popping at all. Just watch ELSupremos video. They sound great. If your goen with samson make sure to get the longtail version..They do look better..IMO
