I first saw twisted T-Headers here on venturaoutfit's bike and was in love. Wish it was more accessible to the rest of us. Rich should actually take note on the design and start making them that way out of the box.

straight pipe = scrape in corners... I would much prefer a pipe with a little upsweep like the thunderheader over my D&D pipe which is straight.

The pipes going into the collector have been cut and rewelded so they are now side by side instead of over under.
