Default Would True Duals be the answer?

For the Frickin HEAT?? After fuelpac, PCV5, still hot as hell!! Decel popping too. Had the PCV dyno done, was fine for a while, then got hot again and decel popping. Got fuelpac map from VH. Still hot and decel popping. I have 09 FLHT with Heavy Breather, Rinehart 3 1/2 slip ons. Is there a difference in High Flow and Heavy Breather. I've been told true duals would solve everything. What do you guys think? Thanks!

True Duals will run somewhat cooler yes but not gonna have cold pipes like some hope for I guess .. The Sound is just an added bonus ..

True duals will help a lot with the heat on your right leg, but they won't necessarily make the motor run any cooler. And they for sure won't fix a bad tune.

I ran FM Jackpots with my stock 2 into 1 into 2 setup. FM map in my PC V, with a SE Ventilator, etc. It ran HOT, no doubt! I swapped out my exhaust for a true dual setup from Freedom Performance. We're into a much cooler season up here in WI but I can tell you that my bike runs cooler. No more popping on decel and it also has a crisper throttle response, somewhat weather related. I think I lost a little on the low end but all said and done it's worth it to me. I'm planning on getting it on the dyno for a tune in the spring after my winter upgrades.

Bottom line, go for it!

decel pop coming back tells me it is the tune more then anything. You went from PCV to a Fuelpak? The Fuelpak's are good I'm sure, a lot of guys run them, but the PCV has more set points and a good map or tune should do what you are looking for.

I bought my TD's with a PCV from Fuel Moto and the bike runs great on the map he loaded. I would double back on your tuner choice/map first, get the TD's if you want a slightly cooler right leg and the sound.
