Why do you say that? 2-1 pipes almost always will deliver more torque than 2-2 pipes.

Default Almost is correct....

New LSR C style's 2-1 only produced 2.2 more hp and no torque over my Python III's and moved the torque curve later in the rpm range. Big dip then builds..

Trimmed about 4" off the short shots. Not a ground shaking change, but just another little tweak. I like it, took one hour, was free!!


Also had to trim about an inch off the baffle insert on the top (shorter) pipe. The insert ran into the bend in the pipe before it was all the way in.

After

Just fired it up. Cant really hear a difference. They were sorta middle of the road loud, about the same.


Look a little more "hot rody"......is that a word??


Your right daddy, it does make the friggin rear end look even longer!!! Oh well, boredom creates projects, some work out, some dont lol


I like it anyway, the uglier the better!!

Your bike belongs in The Walking Dead. Are those the baffles sticking out of the pipes?
