No, no true duals, just stock pipes...gotta take her in in a few days and I will get the folks at the dealership to take a look...the bike runs really well, though. Thanks for the reply.

The uneven look was bugging me so I masked them and shot the inside of the tips with some flat black bbq paint to make it look better.

I have the True Duels set up. The left side is fading which is attributed to the heat of the rear pipe. The right side looks good. Rinehart wants $80.00 for a new cap. All of sudden this faded look seems vogue.

That's funny. After switching to Power Duals, my left pipe is darker than the right one.

On my stock pipes, the left side is much darker than the right.

Swapped to Power Duals and left side darkened up.I just polish it out now and then keep riding.

Have seen the same on stock Steet Glide as well.
