I have them. Got about 8,000 miles on them and the silver is still silver. I am happy with them. The only thing I noticed was last summer while waiting in a VERY long line, my LEFT leg got real hot. Something that never happened to me before.
I also bought the 1 piece heat shield instead of using the 2 stock ones. I think it was from Harley Goodies.
I put that kit on my Road King last winter.
It was easy to install.
I lost a little bit of low end torque.
I like how the bike looks with true duals.
The difference in the sound was hard to tell, I think I replaced the mufflers at the same time.

I put them on my bike a few weeks ago. Sounds much better than with the stock headpipe. Have not been able to ride it just yet. Worst part of the installation is removing the original headpipe. That is a real pain in the ***. I also put on the single right heatshield, looks factory now.
I did this when stock pipe corroded where rear down pipe joins just below passenger peg. Head pipe a pain, and make sure clamps go on right to make sure heat shields can be reinstalled properly - voice of experience. Like the sound better now. No noticeable loss of torque. Take your time... Best part is the savings of about $300 from other true duals.
I have them on my Streeter since 08, they work well.
Had to use them since the Samson head pipes didn't fit on the left side (of course they didn't make good).
These saved my bacon and have worked well ever since.
I did the conversion on my '04 Road King last year and it was an easy and inexpensive change. The bike sounds better, I can't say if it runs any better or not, I haven't noticed any loss of torque. I used their black pipe to blend in with the rest of my exhaust system and got a 24" shield in raw steel and had it powdercoated to match the rest of the exhaust system.
There is a full article on the true dual install in this month's Baggers magazine and if you don't intend on reusing the Y pipe, it is easier to cut it in half like the Baggers article recommends.
