Default Preferred Head Pipe

I have RC Components slip-ons on my 2012 FLHX stock head pipe. I'm looking for a head pipe to get better sound and performance with my slip-ons. Was thinking about V&H true duals, but want to get other suggestions. Thanks

Looks-wise, I really like the Vance and Hines Dresser Duals, they are my favorite, every time I see them I like them more.

Fuel-moto has a nice head pipe. No cat, high flow. I have one and it is awesome. Just my opinion. see at www.fuelmotousa.com

I have installed about every head pipe out there-Fullsac, fuelmoto, V&H Power duals/True Duals, Rush, Rinehart, S&S Power tune, Arlen ness, and stock with cat removed.

For quality and price on true duals I would recomend Rush or V&H True Dual

For 2:1:2 I would recommend Fullsac, Fuelmoto, S&S and V&H Power dual

I have RC Slipons - V&H Power Duals in my shop right now installed on 2012 Street glide 103 and they sound good!!

Im running the V & H Power Duals and they are OK. But if I was to do it again I d go Fuel Moto or Fulsac, IMO a better quality pie and i like the original heat shields look better than the Power Chamber on the V & H.

I'm running Fuel Moto because I can run my stock shields and they aren't as apt to drag as the Vance & Hines Power Duels. I have a friend with a Limited that drags his Power Duels a lot. If he drags on a Limited I know I definitely would on my SG.

The OEM headpipes with the CAT removed works great for me. Use the extra money you save to buy a tuner.
