Default RE: newbie question - dual exhaust

ORIGINAL: sportyrider1

This question has many answers all of which are true. true duals will make the bike cooler on the right side but hotter on the left
[sm=exactly.gif]The reason i just took off the V&H TD's and went with the Bassani 2-1 Road Rage. Here's the deal with TD's. You don't have the other pipe connected and thus the exhaust stays in the pipe longer (not scavenging)which = hotter. With a 2-1 they scavenge each other and run cooler. Getting the RJ's originals will help outbut mask the problem. First thing you need to do is get a after market fuel management device to richen it up and that = less heat. Then add the RJ's and all should be just swell for you.
