Default Duel Thunder header set up

I love my Thunder Headers sound and the look of it but I would like to see a Duel set up on my Street Bob , ( one on each side ) would anybody like to do it to their Dyna too ? I'm not looking for more power just for looks , Does anybody have any info/photo's ? I'm sure it can be done like most other things ,

You'll be crafting a truly custom exhaust...routing the rear cylinder to the left side.

Might be easier to route the front cylinder on the left. The coil and electrical might be in the way of the rear cylinder.
Wouldn't mind seeing it done, might be pretty sharp if done right.

I've given it a fair amount of thought ... the Softail pipes can be made to work with the Dynas, so perhaps the Softial 2-into-2/true duals could be adapted to the Dyna .... The issue is that the brackets would have to be custom fabbed/adapted to mount on the trans/primary case because of the rubber mount of Dyna vice hard-mounted 88B/96B allows Softail brackets to be mounted on the frame ....

The power loss of snaking it around to the port side wouldn't be worth it to me.

Why would you think you would lose any power? The only place you might have any issues is right at the heads, since it starts out pointed to the right.

Where is it going from there? A 2-1 has been proven for more power, I just made the switch and I'm a believer now.

The point of the thread was to do something very custom, if he was just thinking about power then yes, a 2-1 is the way to go.

"would anybody like to do it to their Dyna too ?" And that is what I responded to.
