Default Are the big ratoius pipes bad for making power?

I'm helping my brother in law out with his bike a 96 with a woods 222 cams and power vision... He has big radius 2-2 pipes stock baffles so how are these pipes is he tossing power out the Window ? What kinds of gains would there be for a 2into1 is it worth it? And also how are the big shots I no they have a power chamber where it's a 2into1

I have the same setup tw222 and the big radius with rsd air cleaner and sepst for tuning. After dyno tune I was at 87hp and 102tq I asked the tuner about the 2-1 difference and his words were if you like these pipes dont change em for more gain. But I asked how much more would I be looking at and he said about 5hp and 5tq or there abouts. If your buddy already has the big radius pipes I would say keep em if he is getting new pipes and wants more HP/TQ go 2-1. I have heard the bigshots are better than most 2-2 but I just reread your post and it sounds like he already has the big radius. In my opinion its not worth swaping the pipe.
