Default Exhaust header with O2 sensor ports...

I am considering to changeto the true dualexhaust system for my 07 Road King Classic. Preliminary got Rinehart True Dual and Vance & Hines' Dresser Duals as headers... However, just wonder whether both of them got O2 sensor ports in the 2 pipes?

Understand that Rinehart's one should have; however, when I read its installation manual, seems like it only provide ONE O2 Bung Plug,does that mean Rinehart got only one of the pipes (either front or rear) got the O2 sensor port? Would like to clarify.....

Regarding V&H, seems like it doesn't mention, so I believe that it doesn't have any O2 sensor ports, am I correct?

Other than these 2 dual header, are there any other brand that got O2 sensor ports?

Thanks!

The Bassani power curve has a bung in the rear pipe only, but installing the front bung can be done easily by yourself or any exhaust seller ( car or bike )

I have Vance & Hines Ovals and they have ports for the O2 sensors. In my particular setup they aren't used and they are plugged. I have the O2 sensors in case our state get strict on the EPA stuff next year.

Make sure you buy the 2007 Rineharts.. they have both holes.

Just a tip though, at least for me it works well..

I put the O2 sensors back in both pipes... even though the instructions on the PCIII recommend using the sensor eliminators. I downloaded map # 812-020 and uploaded it to the unit before installing it.

I also have the Arlen Ness big sucker air cleaner (same as the SE, basically).

I have to tell you. The bike runs awesome. I put close to 7000 miles on the bike in the 3 months that I've owned it. Not a single hiccup or decel pop under normal riding conditions. (sure, when you down shift and drag out a lower gear down a really long exit ramp, yeah, a bit of grumbling, and a very occassional pop..) but that's about it.

I highly endorse this setup.

Rinehart's True Dual is definitely one of my choice for my exhaust system. However, I am still struggling whether I should go for it (i.e. the whole system header + slip-on already) or I should think about a true dual header plus a slip-on from different brand name.

Choosing the later option, I keep my flexibility in selecting the slip-ons that make the sound I like. For the time being, I am still searching on the web for the video clips to listen which slip-on's sound is better to me. For the time being, my options are Rinehart, V&N, Rush, Samson and Hooker... not sure whether there are some even better out there. Any advise is appreciated.
