Default Hard Chrome T-rex vs Rinehearts

What is the basic difference? Are the both true duals with no clamps? Noise level? I have V&H Oval slip ons, was going to go with V& H Dresser duals, but maybe I'll just go with a complete new exhaust.

This is MY unbiased opinion, having checked out these systems thoroughly. Hard Krome 3" duals have the coolest combo of engineering/styling/sound, of ANY dual system on the market! Rineharts have clamp on mufflers. If forced to make a second choice, it would be V&H 2 1/2" Big Shot duals.

I agree with the exception of styling. And it's the very end of the pipe that bothers me. To me they look like two water pipes. I like exhaust with flaired ends and a little curvature (like my women). BUT I think they are designed that way to give it that old school under the truck bumper dual straight pipe look. As cool as these pipes are, they are kinda boring looking at the back. Maybe they'll come out with a version with some kinda flair or something. Regardless, you can't beat no clamps.

I didn't mean just the very end (even though thats what I said [:@]), I meant the entire muffler portion. But after seeing the ends, maybe I'll reconsider.. I see they make a 4" one too that is the kinda style I'm after. Not quite, but close...
