Ghost pipes...
Running a 2-1 and have the second slip-on to do this with but don't have a crossover pipe that will work as the seller doesn't offer it. It's a raw SS 2.5" i.d. and it's 3" shorter than the stock slip-on. The stock crossover would work if where expanded and lengthened 3". I'd guess a custom muffler shop could TIG weld an extension that flares to fit the 2.5" opening. Stock mounting bracket could be utilized.
what companies make these that I could contact or maybe you guys have some ideas?

How about telling us what pipes you are running? 3" shortened muffler most likely means it's made to be hidden under the saddle bags. For rear appearence only, to fill the bag notch on extended bags.

Gayer than a football bat. Going to spend money to hang some hunk of metal on your bike. Sooner or later people will see your secret when no exhaust comes out of it. Next thing you know you are getting a tattoo on your back of two ghost pipes.
Take the money, go to strip bar for some conversion therapy.
Without an intervention you will be strapping on one of those fake kick starters. Or do you already have one?

Pipes are like tittes, need one on each side, and one always hangs just a bit lower than the other... just one pipe is a sausage party
I had a ghost pipe with my roadrage but prefer rumble on both sides. The extra 7 pounds of dead weight had no impact. I swapped over to teh 2:1:2 befor anyone had to do any interventions.

And for that kind of money they charge for them ghost pipes!
I was happy that I have standard bags, so I could go 2-1.
Then I realized that no matter how many TQ I would gain with it, it does not belong to a bagger.
So 2-1-2 it will be: good for performance, good for the look.
