If you take a look at my thread on this I copied Scott but used a rush slip on instead of a standard pipe. That way you already have a baffle for it and it will keep you from dragging.

I really like what people have done with these head-pipes.
The more I read these threads, the more I wish I were home right now, cutting into one of my stock Tommy gun exhaust systems (I got a second one from flea-bay just so I could chop on it while still riding the bike).
I'm really intrigued with this now, because I see that the cat doesn't necessarily fill the entire collector section. That'll make it easier to do this whole thing. The other plus, here, is that a single cat-section will make a pair of 2-1 collectors. If things go as planned, I'll end up with four collectors.
I'm gonna go to the parts house and see if I can find some exhaust pipe that will fit the baffle from one of the Rush slip-ons, then I'll go with that size pipe. I'm also thinking of running it back a bit further than most, kind of a mid-length. I may just start long and then start chopping until I like it.
Seems most of the aftermarket 2-1 pipes are megaphone style. I just don't like those. I want a straight pipe with a slash-down cut on the end. I'll probably end up with all black. The VHT spray-bomb is waiting for me.
