On a car, even a change as "small" as an "X" pipe crossover versus an "H" pipe crossover makes a big difference.
LOOKS pretty though. Of course, so do some ladies who are hell to live with once you get to know them.

Yes, that rear pipe has a really tortuous path compared to the front one. Length is important, but so is the shape of the path.

OMG do you KNOW some of my ex's??? LOL
yeh anyway Jim is spot on regarding the pipes. one is way too bendy vs the other.

I see a performance drop, a seriously hot air intake and filter housing, and a HUGE imbalance in front cylinder versus rear cylinder back pressure.
I also see the hot exhaust coming out RIGHT underneath your thighs, which will certainly keep you warm (burned maybe even ) on cold days, but really **** you off on hot days.
Don't do it LA-Dog . . .

Yeah, I remember a Billy Lane bike that he built for one of those TV show 2-builder "competitions". The rules said each builder had to actually RIDE the bike about 50 miles as I recall. Billy has run his exhaust right through the frame under the seat. He was barely able to complete the 50 mile ride - his butt was actually burning!

yeh the key here is finding the good blend of both show and go. my ideal pipe would be a 2-1 that has a visual flair on par with some of the rowdier 2-2 designs. the Akropovic open line or Supertrapp Phantom II both seem to come close.
On the flip side, a rowdy 2-2 that has a good enough performance design to come close to a 2-1 would work. but most of those are going to be quite long.

Well that ... sucks. I was considering this pipe in chrome. Damn. The only thing actually keeping me from going for it was the GIANT Ness/Magnaflow emblem on it. It doesn't stick out as much on the chrome version.
I think 24V was going to switch to this pipe. He hasn't been on here in a while though.
Got any more info on how bad it sucks? I guess I'm just hoping that someone used the wrong cam or something, lol.....
Damn, I'd like to switch to a short, chrome 2-1. It's got to end at/close to the swingarm pivot point. I just dig that look.
A while back I saw a chrome 2-1 pipe that looked like a Corvette or Cobra 427 side pipe - like the picture ^^
I didn't save the link though & can't find that pipe now.

Anybody know anything about the Patriot Defender pipes?
...looks OK, but the flapper thing seems gimmicky.

I think you are referring to the Santee Xotic Lake 2-1 pipes like these: http://www.choppersurplus.com/np/exh...xoticlake.html
