Sure wish I had a set of True Dual headers to swap you. I'd love to have that Jackpot.

I had the ceramic on my last Roadking so they have been around for a bit. I liked it a lot but I want a true dual again...

Is there a big difference in the sound between the 2-1-2 and True Duals? I had True Duals on my last bike. Still running a decatted stock header on current bike.

Not really...I like the look of the left side exit...The sound difference is small...

Uh.. I beg to differ. Big difference in the sound of my bike going from 2-1-2 to V&H Dresser Duals.

Big difference. Not much at idle, but they bark now when I get on it, vs a mild rumble with 2-1-2.

Not sure which true duals you're talking about but it was a big, unmistakable (and welcome) change for me.

I think that depends more on the mufflers than anything else...
