wanting input... thoughts behind dresser duals vs power duals. Im looking for sound over power and numbers... for me its all about how good the bike sounds. I have a set of svt boneshakers that I would like to match up to a set of vance and hines pipes.... just don't know which set. any and all comments are welcome thanks

what bike are you on? Twinkie? Evo? M8?

need to clarify:
-are you looking for just LOUD.
-best sound at idle (true duals do best lope)
-best sound going down the road (x pipes seem best at speed)

loud is the most loaded question on this forum:

Love true duals you loose a little low end torque but the sound is awesome I have Vance and Hines and sold on quality customer service but if you want to hear true soul of HD true duals only way to go

I've had 'em both. Dresser Duals were too loud for even me, who likes loud. I felt bad for the people who rode behind me. Power Duals for me. 2016 Limited Ultra. Had PDs, then DDs, then back to Power Duals on a 2011 Limited Ultra. 2011 had 103 motor also. No more DDs for me.
