Smog Equipment
So after 45 years of riding and customizing old iron, my doctor insisted I buy a car ! Something I refused to do; but no kidneys to speak of and the spine being trashed, trivial things but I gave in on it. As for a car, never ! I did buy a couch with wheels, an FLHT, it even has shocks and other unnecessary items. I'm looking for someone who understands this modern stuff for some advice, I'll probably still do what I plan but some warning on the results may help.
1. I want to remove all the smog related items on the bike (canister, hose, converter, etc.etc.) the bike was required to have these at sale but we don't have inspections and the CHP can't check emissions on the road.
2. I also want to eliminate the "crossover' pipe on the exhaust, mostly for looks. "True dual" systems sell for $ 400+. I have the carbureted Twin Cam 88 and I see no problem with just taking the "Y" pipe and bending up a replacement without the 'Y'; and the straight front pipe and replacing it with a pipe with no outlet to the 'Y' pipe. Any problems ?

RE: Smog Equipment
Well what l ittle smog items youhave are not costing you any thing leave where there are. And doing away with the Y pipe is not the best idea on a heavy bagger that is 88inch. Add a set of slip ons but leave the cross over inplace you will loose much bottom end tq without it.
