Don't kick yourself. I got a feeling you'll be reworking the motor one of these days and you can throw a 2-1 on then. Until that time, the pipes (and your whole bike for that matter) look awesome.

Read your post and checked the dyno sheet I have posted in the photo album on my page. Don't see a flat spot at 5,000 rpm's and I have 2-1 pipes on the bike.

I didn't see a post asking this question so please let me know if I overlooked it. Thanks.

In my experience I've found that 2into1s give more low and mid range but may not be quite as good as 2to2 on the very top end. But for all around performance I think the 2to1 is better. I have the v&h 2to 1 pro and it works fine but has turned a little bronze but I since found I was running lean so can't really blame the pipe for that
