Default Another exhaust question
Been reading a lot on exhaust, I had originally thought about mini grenades but it seems the shorter 2 into 2 presents performance issues down the road when the upgrades start. I’m not wanting long pipes but I’m not opposed to possibly a shorter 2 into 1 that allows proper torque performance. I’d like something that goes just past the passenger peg that doesn’t hide the rear wheel... any suggestions?

Other options would be the Supertrapp Bootlegger and the Freedom Performance Side Dump.

I like the supertrapp but my understanding is they don’t have heat shields for them...

Did you take a look at the Cobra Speedster 909 Shorts or the Speedster Slashdowns? they have a hidden crossover port that lets them behave in nearly the same way as 2 into 1in pipes.

Dont worry, Both of those do come in black.

They're the cheapest on Ebay if you want them.
Just search Cobra and the SKU number.
