Soon to be installing a HQ 95" kit and have decided the Dresser Duals and Oval Slipons are going to go. That being said, if I go with the more traditional
2/2 pipes, it'd have to be the Rinehart True Duals. If I opt to go the 2/1 route, it'll be the D&D Fatcats. I am still undecided. What's it going to be ?
I would vote for the Rinehart true duals, but only because I haven't been able to find a way to like the look of 2 into 1. I know they perform better, but I need the balance of a pipe on the left side on a dresser.
I use to have the Rinehart TD's and they pretty much sucked for me. I was not happy,my 95" 10.5:1 Road King was a total Dog until the RPM's got to 3500...........2-1 is the only way to go if you like arm wrenching pull right off idle all the way through redline.............
I was going to go with RH TD's until I heard of all the horror stories from local rider whom had multiple sets replaced due to the header pipes cracking. Then I decided on V&H true duals with ovals.
Now I am looking at the new Bub 7, since it is designed for big cubic inch motors. Hopefully the quality is better than the RH TD's.
Db.... I have the dresser duals and ovals now and they are up for sale. Out of the 2/2's that are known to produce good numbers, the RH are the only pipes I'd consider. As others have said, they've had their issues over the past year. I am not entirely sold on them YET.
