I bought a set of Samson true duals. The left side didnt fit. They said "tough" you own it. So beware.
I had to use a fulsac for the left side to make it all fit.
Not all that bad, can't tell and it works.
I moved from the V&H duals/ovals to the Bub 7 true duals for performance reasons. I must say I am liking the Bub 7 more and more. Here's more on the Bib 7's.
I have Bassani True Duals with V&H slash cut slip ons on my 02 RK .
The Power Curve of the Bassani makes it the equal length of the front pipe which in theory increases your horsepower (like equal length headers on hot rods / dragsters ).
The sound is great and I think the pipes look good .
Good quality and great fit .
I also read in a magazine that after installing the Bassani's on a bike that it ran cooler .
I don't have an oil temp dipstick so I can't say .
I ended up with Bub 7 true duels because I liked the tips. The Bubs and Rineharts are both made at Bub enterprises. As for loosing torque I wouldn't worry about that. I was told a stock EG from the factory would produce about 62hp+- and around 69'torque. After the dino mine (with stage 1) has 73hp and 86'torque. I enjoy the sound...
V & H true duals on my 08 RG. The V & H pipes are stock size so any muffler will fit. As far as I know the Rineharts are a custom size and will only fit Rinehart mufflers, unless someone can correct me on this.
I put Supertrapp mufflers on. I can add or remove plates and customize the tune / sound for each cylinder.
Didn't notice any loss of bottom end power, runs great.
One of my bikes the conversion pipes (rear cyl elbow and front cyl straight)came from TC Biker the absolute least expensive way to go.Cannot seem to find their site.
is this what you asre looking for...bottom of the page.

The V&H true dual are 1 3/4" pipes. Same a the stock pipes.
The Rinehart true duals step from 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" to 2".
Rinehart also sells slip-on mufflers that will fit 1 3/4" pipes.
Bub 7 true duals step from 1 7/8" to 2". They sell slip-on mufflers for 1 3/4" pipes also.
