Negative Fab... the $350 is for the headers and ghost pipe, sans the mufflers. I didnt need the mufflers because I have a set of my own that I'd prefer to keep.

Thanks for the clarification, think I'll still call about a head pipe.

OP: There's no 'if' when it comes to finding a 2-1 header that will also fit your V&H slip-ons. It simply doesn't exist.
Also, while it's true that your power characteristics will change with a TD system you will not LOSE power. It simply moves up to a slightly higher part of the power-band. It is also true that you will gain a bit more low rpm power with a 2-1, but a good stepped header 2-2 will perform nearly the same when coupled with correct tuning.
Sure you can weld that POS 'Y' pipe back together but it's a ****-poor design made even worse with poor execution at the factory. (I'm holding back here.)
If you like dual exhausts scrap the stock crap for either a TD conversion kit or a good stepped header TD system. The only drawback to a new stepped headers plan is that you'll have to sell your 1-3/4" slip-ons and find some 2" mufflers (because of the stepped design).
