My choice was true duels. I don't like the look of baggers with only 1 pipe. That's just my opinion. I have the V/H and the sound is great and it is less heat also.

I was in your predicament in regards to my 2008 RK.

The first question you have to ask yourself is: Are you interested in performance or looks, or in my case, both.

I chose the D&D FatCat's 2-1 because I honestly did like the look of the single pipe and I do believe there was a performance increase with the FatCat along with the Stage 1 A/C and the PCV. There are many who don't like the look of the single pipe and many who do.

If I were to have gone dual pipe, I would have chosen either the V&H or the Rinehart.

In the end, you have to decide on the Look:Performance decision.

Just my humble opinion! Good Luck.

I've been running Rinehart True Duals for the past year. I'm going with a Supertrapp 2:1 system, less noise and better performance. True duals are pretty much for looks only. My .02 cents.

2-1 D&D Fat cat is the best. If you like tru-duals make sure you get a system that has stepped headers or it will rob your power

Bub 7 True Duals IMO. 2-1 is better for prformance but just can't get past the look of the 2-1. Your bike buy what makes you happy

I like the dual look and didn't think I would like the 2-1 exhaust until I installed the Bassani Road Rage 2-1 exhaust on my '09 Street Glide.

It looks awesome and gave me a good amount of torque when I had the bike dyno tuned. It gave me awesome sound, power gains and also gave the bike a nice aggressive look.

I never thought I would like the 2-1 look until I saw all the benefits of it after I installed it.

For 2010, HD went with a factory 2-1 exhaust on the Street Glide, and I am sure they did it to save money and go for a bit more power.

I have Rinehart TD's. Way loud...which I like in town but hate on the long stretch of highway. The best thing about true duals in my opinion is that I do not experience the heat everyone bitches about from the pipes frying them. I also think they look cooler personally but like others have said, that's just in the eye of the beholder.

FWIW, im running a black d&d fatcat. I dont notice anymore heat then what was there before when I had the factory headpipes and rush slip ons. DEFINATELY more noise though, especially at WOT. I like the looks, I like the sound. I have always like true duals, but I kind of just jumped out and bought the FC when I did my motor build. I am satisfied though, if I changed exhausts it would be for another 2-1.
