Default head pipe options for 2010 FLHR

I am currently looking to remove the stock head pipe which contains the cat and replace it with a new aftermarket header with no cat. Since I am a new firtst time owner of a Flhr I would like some opinions on what the members are using and the pros and cons of the different makes. I hope to add a high flow and thundermax. The only mod I have done up to now is adding V & H ovals. All opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I run the V/H Dresser Duals and love the sound and the looks.

3 weeks now with V&H dresser duals and V&H blackout rounds slip-ons. Great sound, less heat, no complaints!
