Exhaust question....
Exhaust question....
I know this has been discussed to death but I just want to clarify what I think I have learned on this forum.
I am looking to swap out my exhaust (factory pipes with Rush slip on's) to a full system. I am not looking for a cosmetic upgrade necessarily, but a performance one. As far as performance goes it seems to me that a LONG pipe length, 2 into 1 system is the way to go. Something like this:

From what I understand shorter pipes and 2 into 2 pipes (even if they are crossovers) don't work as well!?!??
Anyone have any experience with the Patriot Defender pipes?

No experience with those pipes, but I put a Thunderheader on my bike and am really happy with the results. What I feel (seat of the pants) is better throttle response and slightly noticeable low end torque. From what I've read, a 2-1 manages the back pressure more and helps with torque. If I'm wrong, someone chime in and say so.
