I think the Ghost pipe looks good better than the lop-sided look you can paint the end off the baffle flat black to give it the sooty look thats what I did. I love the performance of the 2n1 FatCat and it screams performance either way JMHO

Did you take the ghost off the bike, tape it up and then spray the flat black paint inside or did you take a different approach. How does the flat black look compared to the real pipe. Did you need to paint the real pipe as well to have them match?

I just masked it off with tape and newspaper and shot the inside of the pipe with flat black paint look like the other one now. But my bike may run richer than yours.

BTW the boat has dual exhaust and it definitely has the look of performance. I wonder if I now need to change it over to a single pipe
hahahaha... THat's funny!

"screams performance" ... "does not need to if it's got it" ... "added weight" ... "doesn't matter, it's a bagger" ...
Ha! THIS is funny! You don't NEED to scream performance if it's got it ... but you NEED a fake pipe to make it LOOK balanced! You can even PAINT the inside of the FAKE pipe to make it LOOK more REAL! If you need to go to that length, just buy freakin' duals!

I like the single look, AND I think I could find a better way to spend the extra money! Fat Cat 2:1 is "on my list"! Oh, and it's 2:1, not 2:1 (plus 1 fake 1). Just my .02!

I vote ghost, I like the 2 pipes look and I don't like the look of fly wheel on the bear side. My opinion.

2 pipes may look better. But the single pipe looks good too. The biggest thing is that its fake. If you are keeping the ghost pipe, just change it when you change your mind.

Ghost pipe is only necessary if you have stretched bags IMO.

The ghost pipe looks ok when the TP is on but looks better with just the "real" pipe on without the TP.

I dunno. It's your choice of course but I would have a tough time putting a fake anything on my bike. I'm more of a function over form kinda guy though.

Slight Edit: I wouldn't mind some fake ******* on the girl on the back seat.
