RE: do true dual headers make a louder noise ??
macdonald has it right
there is a modest (and good) sound increase going to true duals without changing slip-ons.
The biggest increase in sound comes from adding different slip-ons which is almost always done with the addition of true dual headers.
I had SE slip-ons with the stock headers, nice rumble. Added V & H true dual headers, kept the SE slip-ons, and got a much better sound

I sure hope that you're wrong... i.e. they don't get louder. I just bought a set of V & H's that are going on today. It's already too loud for my liking. So far, I haven't found any mufflers yet (duals only) that have a mellow sound and don't kill power. I was hoping that this would be the answer

A while ago, I was running Wild Pigs mufflers on the stock head pipes..........got used to that sound and liked it. I then put on true dual head pipes, and the sound got much louder and was in stereo now. So from that comparison, the sound got much louder and took on a different tone also.
But, when I was running the Rinehart TD's.........most of my riding buddies said they were too quiet. But one I did my motor build, I had to get rid of them due to the noise/tone of them.
