I have had pretty much every exhaust system out there at one time or another. Currently on my 14 street glide special I am running a bassani down under true dual head-pipe and v&h twin slash. Prior to this system I had the 2 to 1 pro pipe and just was not happy with it. On the Dyno hp was pretty much the same but torque was a little higher down low but peak numbers were very close. My butt Dyno barely felt a difference plus I just could not get used to only one muffler with factory bags. All my other 2 to 1 systems were on bikes with stretched bags and looked much better. In the end it's all up to you. If you want I can email you some sound clips of different exhaust systems.

Um no...a gain actually. The S&S PowerTune duals give a true dual look but actually have a 2-1-2 setup, giving way to the the "exhaust collector" style of headers. That's why I choose them, and love'm. Never had anything S&S before. They are pretty solid. Like I said, I was a V&H guy, still am sort of, but this setup is stout for all around power and touring. I run a PowerVision from FuelMoto. They rock too!

Whatever you choose you will love. Just search a bit, listen to others, and honestly take advice if it sounds legit. A few folks here helped me as well. Good luck.

Doing lots of that. Thanks. I did find a sound clip of the S&S headers with some CFR's and they sounded really clean. Probably the best I've heard so far.

I really like the sound of my Rush 7017HO's with Big Louies. Deep but not loud. I think it sounds better than the reinharts on my other 2010 king.

This is what I have...and love em.
+More low end torque than the true duals that were on it before.

Why not some true duals? Some classic Rineharts sound just nasty and loss of torque...... Get yourself a tune, You won't notice it. Weezy makes 82hp/ 99tq. Granted there are combos that get you more but with only stage 1 not that much more.
The above with a good tune = you will have useable throttle everywhere and turn heads every time

I'm interested in true duals. I just don't want to lose and any power or torque that is currently there. My goal is to get the sound I'm after and hopefully see a little gain in HP and torque at the same time.
