Yes the chrome is much better and the heat shields coverage is really good.
Where are you in VT.? I'm hoping to get one more ride in up RT 7 to Manchester.

I agree. Unless you are over 90 then the stock is fine.

I think the PDs are giving my bike the big mid range that it has, but are holding it back up high. A straight 2-1 could get more power, but I dont like the look so I will put up will a slight loss in top end.

An 09 shouldn' have a cat unless it is a california bike. I like my power duals for the sound but I don't think the power is much different if at all over the stock 09 header.
I am also running monster ovals.

I want the true dual exhaust and sound out both pipes. Will the PD's give you that, or should I go with the Touring Duals, which is a true dual system?

i dont know first hand about the power duals but i have an 07 street glide and had the big shot true duals from vance and hines and they were horrible pipes it felt like i actually lost power over stock header pipes and slips. i ended taking them off and switching to rinehart true duals and it made a huge difference way more power and a way better sounding exhaust
