Head pipes

How the heck do you choose the right head pipes with so many to choose from? I'm currently running Python slip-on's and what to convert over to true duals. Do I stick with Python and stick with a full Python system, or go with something else? Are there any brands to stay away from? Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated!

I should also mention the main reason for doing this is to get rid of that cross pipe and try to prolong the inner thigh life a bit! After riding yesterday, I made this a priority. After the head pipes get done, the heat shield will follow. I can't believe how hot these bikes get!

I like the Bassani Power Curves, they are one of the only balanced length headers on the market. Yes, I also run them.

I looked at those and was wondering if they were all that? This is what I'm looking for, good or bad input. Thanks.

If you just get a Fat Cat you don't have to worry about it.

you can mix and match if you like. I have Vance and Hines True Duals, with Rinehart slip ons. There's no science to it pick a pair that fits your style and budget.
