First of all let me say "Thanks in advance"...as this subject is beat to death I know and opinions are like "A-holes"...everybody has one, but on to my question....Who out there has "Rinehart true duals/headers" on their Screaming Eagle? I have a 2008 Ultra-Classic 105th edition SE3 and would like to put "true duals" on it. I am currently running "phthons" and like them a lot but think maybe "true duals" is the way to go. Who can help me out? Thanks again and ride safe!
Billy,
Exhaust is a personal preference, Adding true duals will help with the heat issues on the right side of the bike. As stated you like your Pythons, You can use tour mufflers with V&H true dual headpipes or Rush's true dual headpipes since the will work with the slip on's. Rinehart true dual's have a stepped header system and their inlet is 2" so you must use the complete system. Ok let's move on.... What i have found first hand experience is that the Rinehart true dual's are not for every rider

Meaning alot of riders say they experience a low rpm dip with the true duals.. Yes there is areason why Mo Co uses the cross over on the rear cylinder and that balances the exhaust for low rpm torque. What type of rider are you ?? If you like to ride your scoot keeping the R's up 2800 and higher at low speed, with a proper tune the Rinehart's perform excellent, With their stepped header system you have to keep the R's up for the exhaust to flow, Plus you have less stress on the lower end with R's up, These stroker motors yield better with rpm.
With a good tuner you should not have any popping on decel, The tuner should be able to dial er in. So, What type of rider are you?
If ride conservative and have a tendacy or like to keep the R's at a lower level Then the Rineharts would not be a Rec. on my end. Stay with your stock cross over and your Python's and get a good tune. If you keep the R's up then the Rineharts and a good tune will make your scoot come alive quiet well.
Enjoy and Ride Safe
