Default 103" RoadKing header?

Hi guys, want some opinions on aftermarket header for my King. Last mod I've been wanting done.
Pretty much decided on V&H or S&S.
Mostly wondering between dresser duals or Powerduals? T.I.A.

I did the S&S Power Tune, ordered thru Fuel Moto. Combined it with Cobra 909 slip ons and love it. Looks like true duals, but is still 2/1/2.

I went with the Cobra Powerport header, actually the Speedster Duals full exhaust that has the header and mufflers the same diameter so it uses a single heat shield for the header and muffler. It looks like a true dual but has the connection between the headers like the S&S.

I am very happy with the looks, sound, and performance. My primary goal was to get rid of the heat from the catalytic converter and it did that very well.

The stock header makes pretty good power. You can save some money by taking it off and taking it to any muffler shop or indy and have them get the cat out. You'll have a great header, less heat and a thicker wallet.

If you want true duals, you can't go wrong with Vance and Hines but consider a full Rinehart system if you haven't already. I love mine therefore it is the best
