As my bike idles in the drive when it is cold out, vapor only from the RS, nothing on the LS

Sound will be much better with true duals, aka 2-2 design. The reason is, with fake duals, 70% of the exhaust gasses will go through the right muffler and 30% through the left. Put your hands behind your exhaust and check the difference. With 2-2 headers, you'll get 50%-50% so the sound will be more stereophonic. It will be louder than with 2-1-2 but not obnoxious. Im very happy with my VHDDs, really distinctive sound each piston being heard individually....With the 4" Rineharts and a specific map from Dynojet it runs like a raped ape.
