Default Poor Man's Duals???

I have seen a device advertised on eBay that I'm curious about. It amounts to a sort of baffle that installs in your crossover so that it equalizes the exhaust flow to something ressembling 50/50 to each side rather than the roughly 80/20 distribution you get with the stock set up. Has anybody seen or know about these? Here's the URL for the thing.

I've never seen or heard of those anywhere. If you want to modify your exhaust to true duals, you might want to look at the following

All you have to do is remove your exhaust from the bike, cut the crossover and weld in a plug(in the crossover section) and then weld the pipe closed and reinstall the exhaust back on the bike,,,I did it, it cost me nothing but a little time(that is if you own the proper tools) and sounds Great.....

According to the e-bay listing, you are getting a couple clamps and some freeze plugs,,,,not worth the $125.00,,,imop..

Thanks, Bud. Good tip. Did you have to do anything with your fuel management after that? I'm not thinking real seriously about it. I have a stock set up with SE slip on's that I'm pretty happy with, but you never know. Might get a case of cabin fever in the winter and...well, you know.

Fullsac on my '01 RKC. Love it, I get many asking what tru-dual pipes do I have. I explain what I did and the HUGE cost savings.

Thanks, U08! If I ever go that route, this looks like a better solution.

I got the e-bay set up back before I knew better. Then it was $59 and although it work just fine and was pretty easy to do it was only 2 freeze plugs and a clamp. When I blow a hole in my left side u-pipe several miles later i went with fullsack and I'm really pleased.

With the fullsac system do you still have to remap etc after like you would if you did a full true dual?
