Question on pipe diameter
Aside from a sound difference, what is the difference in running 2in versus 1 3/4in pipes? You don't see them on bikes that much anymore but I love how the smaller diameter pipes sound. Does the smaller diameter provide more back pressure?

You can't get regular baffles to fit in 1-3/4" OD pipes. I had 1-3/4" OD, first generation,Samson Rip Saws on my bike for about 2-1/2 years before I got rid of them because I couldn't take the noise of the drag pipes, without any baffles, with my 103" engine.
They were basically drag pipes. I did a lot of searching for baffles to quiet them down, but the only ones available were the all metal ones that didn't lower the volume enough to make a difference.
