Default exhaust question 2into1 vs duals

Are there any advantages in the two into one exhaust vs the dual exhaust?
Thanks,

Usually better torque with the two into one.

2 into 1 will always make the most torque because they promote higher exhaust velocity which in turns increases the scavenging effect (Drawing more intake air into the cylinder) which directly equates to increased low end torque.

At the end of the day, the gains are minimal so I would go for what ever your after... I personally always chase performance over looks or sound... So I installed the Bassani 2 into 1... It happens to look & sound great so Its a win win win for me.





SPEED SAFE, NICK

I ran V&H dual's on my '15 slim an it made good power with a FP3.....the down side IMO is the heat off the pipe for the rear cyl under your right leg.

I just removed a set of V&H 2 into 1 chrome exhaust from my 2016 Breakout. Only on for a season. PM me if interested
