I haven't read all posts on this 3 month old resurrected topic but I don't think an earlier 2 pipe system would work but could be wrong.
In 2010, they moved the O2 sensors to right where the pipes come together(before the catalytic converter) so that means you have to run some kind of wiring to connect. Not sure how it was done in the 2009 models with the 2-1-2 system.
And the O2 sensors are smaller than 2007 - 2009. This may not be an issue if the connectors remained the same size.
Someone with more mechanical knowledge can chime in & correct me.
Probably a safe bet to say that these days if a 2-1 was gonna kill the sale the dealer would be more than happy to install a ghost pipe.
I know I would if I was the biz owner.
just sayin
Just got my 2010 SG, just found out from BUB that pipes are not available until around the 19th of this month. 1 Stock pipe doesn't matter to me planning on new pipes right away, guess now I'm waiting for a couple of weeks.
