Just as lt1-xjs said,Regardless, I do like the pipe and the unique sound. I also like the performance. I was told by 2 different guys at the shop I had tune my bike say with the Screaming Eagle Fat Shotz slip ons,it tuned out extremely well.

For those that have the Rinehart "Classic" Duals (complete system).
Are you happy with them? Is the heat for Mama really as bad as some are saying?
A show stopper will be if they do NOT have the 18mm bungs for a 2014 SG.
There isn't much on the forum about this setup.

OK, won't let you know about losing torque with V&H DD and how loud they are. Thought you were looking for feedback. I'll delete my post. Be glad people are posting anything keeping it to the top

For true duals I have had V&H Big Shot Duals on a 09 SG and V&H Dresser duals on the RK. Both are true duals with no kind of crossover. Biggest thing I have noticed is loss of low end torque. With the Big Shots I had it dyno proven, the Dressers I am just going by butt dyno. That's why I was asking about the guys with the S&S with crossover and Cobra's (I believe they are the same pipe). I'm sure you do not want to lose low end so I was asking for both our benefits because I too would like to get a different header. Was hoping to find someone who has had a true dual, then with the duals with the small crossover. They could shed light on difference in torque and sound. One thing I will say. If you want LOUD duals go with the Big Shots. They make your radio useless.

Awesome, thanks.
Maybe we'll both reach a good setup after this thread!
I'm very interested in the S&S. I'd pull the trigger if I knew they sounded as good as folks say true duals sound.

What slip-ons are you planning when you make the change?
I'll currently running a full Fuelmoto setup. Can't get over the "one-sided" sound. Have the full size crossover pipe as well.

I was gonna keep my V&H twin slash rounds. I have the slip ons with gutted cat headpipe right now. That's another reason I wanted to hear from those who ran "true duals" and then switched to the S&S. With the Dresser Duals it make the slip ons considerably louder. A little too loud for me. Im sure my wife would complain.
FYI- If you do order the S&S , Eastern Performance has them on Ebay for $442 shipped. Think I might start a thread on headpipes.
