I've narrowed it down to V&H PowerDuals or Jackpot ceramic 2:1:2. Operating temp is a factor as well as comparability with the V&H Dual Slash muffs.

What do y'all think?
 
Ceramic will throw less heat for sure... they are both GREAT headpipes

Here's another option....V&H Dresser Duals. I love to clean look of true duals without the crossover. Would I see any noticeable performance differences between the two?

Edit..I thought of something regarding true duals. How do you handle the O2 sensor? Is there one for each cylinder?

The Jackpot pipe for $399, is hard to argue with. The crossover is a non-issue, as it is covered by the factory heat shields. You can't get cleaner than stock for looks. Besides, the crossover helps with back pressure, for healthy torque.

I had true duals on my built 95" Road king and went with the V&H Power duals on my new SGS.......I can really feel the difference in the low end torque vs. the True duals where the power comes on more noticeably above 3000 RPMs.............I know apple to oranges, what cams, yada, yada but I am very happy with the Power Duals and at $440 (shipped with no tax) I think they are a great solution.

Cheers!!

That's what I've heard about crossover. So now it's just a choice between the Power Duals or the Jackpot. Leaning toward the Jackpot for the ceramic coating.

Is there any reason to go with this?

I have Dresser Duals on my 2015 FLHXS. I love them. I'd never done headers before and I love the "stereo" sound of the exhaust. Not sure how much of a performance difference there was since it's my first set of headers but I'm happy with the finished product. I think the Power Duals will give you more performance but I don't care too much for the look of the Power Chamber, but that's just me. The reduction in heat from the exhaust is also appreciated by my lady when she rides with me.
 
I'm going to go with the ceramic Jackpots and V&H Twin Slash Ovals with the naked air cleaner kit. Going to get the whole thing from Fuel Moto and after talking to them, they made some interesting points about the Power Vision vs FP3 tuners. One being that they can't really support the FP3 because V&H has the software locked down. I don't know if that's a big deal as I'm sure V&H has great support. I like the iPhone/iPad interface of the FP3. I always have either or both with me.

I prefer the looks of the true duals but given the low end performance gain in the crossover, I can live with it. The factory heat shields clean it up nicely.

Smart choice! You will love the loss of heat!
