Exhaust question
Any input on Rienhart 4" true duals Extreme setup compared to a Fuel Moto headpipe and Screamin Eagle slip-ons. Maybe someone here has had one, or both of these systems at one time or another and could tell me which would run better as far as heat buildup goes, or just overall performance in general?
I like the sound of the rineharts but dont know how they would compare performance-wise to the FuelMoto system.

You won't be able to tell the difference in performance between them. If your into a dyno sheet pissing match maybe it might make a difference.
But you may need to know that the Rienhart 4" true duals Extreme setup uses a different size pipe so you can only use their muffler.
I do love the sound of my 4" Rineharts I have now though.

Check out MGS True Duals. Sound much better than Rineharts because of better construction. Look at the smaller shops. Dragos makes fantastic pipes as well. Do your homework. The 2" pipe on the stepped true dual head pipe is the only way to go to minimize performance loss. Check out the threads on here. Rineharts arent bad, at least they are a stepped head pipe, but Everybody has Rineharts..... Bottom line, is just because the website says they are awesome, doesnt mean it is. There is something better.

I have the 4" RH (black) on my 2010 SG and love the sound & look, this bike is for touring so performance isn't an issue. I also have Drago's Dragula (w/ghost pipe) on my Procharged 120R 2012 SG great quality and performance.

Thanks for the info and I appreciate the responses.
Was not aware Rinehart headpipes will only fit/match up to Rinehart mufflers. Good info.
Have tried Vance & Hines "X" pipe with older style twin slash round mufflers.---Very nice setup, appearance and performance as good as anything out there IMO. Sound was more than acceptable.
Next went to Drago 2 into 1 three step header. Not too bad. Basically just a Rush system at a cutrate price, a fair deal for the money compared to what Rush charges.
Now I am back to the a stock headpipe with the CAT removed and older Kirker/Screamin Eagle 3.5" mufflers till I decide on something else. The heat is not much less even with the CAT removed.
A Fuel Moto headpipe is way back-ordered right now, so I continue on my search for something that meets my own "idea" of what the best setup will be. LOL.
It never ends with these obsession/addictions to spending money and changing parts for these bikes.

These are something to check out: http://www.mgscustombikes.com/
If I was to start over they would get a major look.......and they do make 3 baffle sizes for loudness
