Can't comment on the Fullsac pipes. However, I can comment on the Power Duals vs. OE headers. I have the Power Duals on two of our bikes. My Roadie has the Power Duals with the Monster Ovals and a PC-V from Jamie, cannot believe how well this plain jane 96 runs. I also have the Power Duals on the black bike (sig pic), but with the Hi-Outputs, not dialed in quite right just yet.
Here's one BIG problem with the Power Duals if you are even just a little interested in leaning your bike. The header touches down REAL early compared to the OE headers. When I say touches down, I'm not kidding. As in, front pipe, collector, and even the crossover pipe going to the left side of the bike. I don't care about grinding my floorboards and floorboard supports, but my damn pipes?!! An expensive lesson. Both my Roadie and the Electra Glide are ..... uh ....... ground up a bit. The only tiny blessing is that you can't quite see it when parked. But, at some point they will deteriorate and I'll need to replace them. The chrome ones on the Roadie won't be so bad, but the black ones were custom, so it'll be a pain.
If I do them over, I'll go with the Fuel Moto header because they're angled like the OE headers which means I can lean a lot further and I can utilize the OE shields. Now, if you don't ride like that and you ride a bit on the tame side, then by all means have at it with which ever feels right to you.
Your wallet has been warned!

Well the thread may be 7 years old but I am glad it came back to the top. I have been looking for a head pipe to replace the OEM and really don't care for most of the designs. I had never looked at Fullsac but WOW I am very impressed with what I see on the Performance DX and it looks completely stock.
I will most likely buy the Fullsac unit, keep my SE slip ons and go with the FP3 tuner. Now if I can decide on a breather. Again looking for something to retain stock cover. I like to run stealth!

I landed with S&S and no regrets about doing so.
