Default M8 2-1-2 head pipe

Was wondering if any or many of the aftermarket companies make a 2-1-2 head pipe with the same diameter pipes on both sides where 15-16 year or earlier mufflers can be used. I've usually always run a 2 into 1 exhaust but thought I might try something different this time around.

S&S makes one, how well it works I can’t tell you.

I’m running the S&S 2-1-2 on my 2017 Street Glide. It fits and works excellent. My dyno run is posted in the dyno section.
