I tired them and it just felt like it was now hotter on the left side. Took 'em off and went back to stock

True duals will not lower engine temp but remapping your ECM will.

RE: True Duals Will Lower Engine Temp
I installed tru duals on my 07 road glide. Before I removed the factory pipes and mufflers, I used a thermal heat gun to measure the temp, on top of the cylinder heads just to the left of each spark plug. I have yet to install and aftermarket tuner. Anyway, after comparing each set of pipes on same temp days on the same ride I take each day, I can say that the temps have come down by no more than 10 degrees.
So yea, they lower the temps just ever so slightly.

You can buy an infrared thermometer in an auto parts store for around $20.00. I tried one, they work good.

The problem with MOST true duals is REVERSION. This alone will cause a temp increase in the cylinders.
