Default CFR, which head pipe?

I put down a deposit for a 14 FLHXS, black denim, should be getting to my dealer in a few weeks. Anyhow I ordered some CFR slip ons, my only dilema is which head pipe to mate them to. I was thinking: V&H power duals, fuel moto's 2-1-2 pipe or fullsac 2-1-2 pipe. Which one of these would be the best choice, and if anyone has had experience with this type of set up. On my 13 FLHX I had the V&H dresser duals with Klock Werks slip ons, great sound, but I want to do something different this time around. Any opinions or guidance is welcomed. BTW Im probably going o do a PV or PC-V for tuning it.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices.

I have the Jackpot 2-1-2 ceramic pipe on mine. Construction, fit & finish was excellent. I also wanted the extra 18mm O2 bung feature for tuning.

With just adding the head pipe I picked up almost 10 ftlbs of tq down low and 5 hp at the peak.

BTW, Semper Fi!

I ran the CFR's and V&H Power Duals on my SG for awhile. No complaints and plenty of sound. Got asked about it all the time.

CFRs look great and sound awesome.

Some folks complain that they can be real tricky to get a real proper tune.

Good luck,

I have a few sets of chrome CFR's smooth in stock right now for anyone interested. Double fluted should be in soon as well. Run them on my bike too. Deep low growl. I have cobra headers which were on the bike when I bought it.

I don't like the look of power duals' plus they hang down too low. I picked up a nice bump with Fullsac Xpipe but any of the three are a push performance/quality wise. Best picks imho.

same here, the look is just not clean to me. and the drag easily. i have heard CFR with them and they sound great though. im pairing my CFR to dresser duals. i liked the sound of the dresser duals with them even better

2012 Limited. Running the V&H Dresser Duals with CFR's fluted and SE 204's. Sounds outrageous...

Did you consider S&S Power Tune Duals. The HD I go to says they install a lot of them. Their header gives the look of duals with a hidden crossover. Claims to increase prerformance. I am thinking about the three you mentioned plus S&S.
