Default New exhaust for my 2011 FLHR

I currently have a SE Ventilator AC, Vance and Hines Propipe on my 2011 Road King which has a custom tune (from the dealership i might add) utilising a SEPST module.

I have decided to give my bike a birthday and I reckon I will start with new exhaust. I am leaning towards the Vance and Hines Power Duals and the RSD Slant Slip ons ( in chrome).

My question for you good folks is:
1. Is anyone using this exhaust combination. If so, what are your thoughts in terms of power and sound?
2. As I would like to keep my SEPST, where would I find a good map to suit the exhaust combination and how hard is is to download the map on to the module and apply.
3. Does anyone have any reviews on the RSD exhausts regarding quality.

Sorry for the long winded spiel but Isure would apreciate your thoughts before Ichuck down my hard earned.

I have a couple of comments on the PD's.

on a lowered bike, on a right turn ( esp if there is a dip and the suspension compresses) the cover on the X pipe can hit hard enough to relieve traction from the rear tire.

on install the clamp on the crossunder should be oriented so that it won't grab a speedbump or kerb.
should it contact it can tear the exhaust off the bike...and maybe break the oil pan.
it is simple enough to rotate the clamp, or cut off any excess threaded rod once the clamp is on.

the fit and finish of the PD's is good, but pricey.
if I were shopping for a stage 1 motor, I would likely get a decatted stock header for 1/4 the price.
