Default V&H Power Duals or Dresser Duals???

Trying to decide what head pipe I want.. I Have Rinehard 4" mufflers... Pro and Cons from all of you?? I don't even have a 1000 miles on my new bike and the stock headers have to go!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Dresser Duals, I think they look and sound a bit better!

Yeah Dresser Duals....the power dual X by the transmission is an eye-soar to me (no offensive to those that disagree).

I have Power Duals and they make good power and sound but if I had it to do over I'd go with the Fuel Moto head pipe or the full sac x pipe. The power duals lower your ground clearance and scrape as well as the quality of the chamber is sheet metal vs stainless tubing. I also think the OE look is better than the power chamber

If they are for the bike in your sig you are limited to the Dresser Duals unless you have or plan to switch to the '09 up exhaust style. Others have switched to the '09 up style on the older bikes but it does require some other work.

Just noticed the 2012 you have listed in your garage. For my money I would go with Power Duals to keep the 2 -1- 2 and the better bottom end torque.

I have a V&H power duals ,CFRs and a K&N aircharger ac on a 11 103 SG with a V&H fuel pak, I called V&H after the install of their Power Duals header and was given a different map, the map they gave me made a significant difference in power and overall rideability that I could feel in the seat.No Doubt about it.

I have the dresser duals, cfr's, and powervision. My good friend has the power duals. I like the sound better from idle, acceleration, an deceleration
