cut about 4 inches out of the pipe going from the rear cylinder to the pipe coming from the front cylinder. plug both openings with chevrolet freeze plugs. voila!!! $1.50 and true duals. keep the heat shield in place to cover the removed pipe area. no need to spend big bucks to get true duals.

Thats not a bad idea, but perhaps a bit too 'cheap' for my blood.

I am running the Torres set up and enjoy the true dual at a reasonable cost. You have to trim the 1st aft cylinder heat shield. Make sure ya cut it at an angle to get better coverage if you buy the TCC set up.

I did the Fullsac deal and it defintely works though the re-use of the stock heat sheilds is not a clean detail and the rear header pipe is left exposed ( Silver heat coating) and it looks kinda unfinished. The Fulsac kit is about $170 and for about $280 you can get the Vance and Hines True Dual Headers with fullheat shields and put whatever muffler you want on it. So for my money spend the extra $100 and get the V&H headers with heat shields and you will be much happier. I went 2-1 Bassani after tiring of the Fullsac look. Having a $20k bike with cheap head pipes is not a good thing

For once, I had some patience and found a new set of Dresser Duals for $230-shipped over on the classified section of this board from one of our board members (IndyRider) and installed them last week. Fit and finish is excellent. However, true duals with my existing SEII's, are louder than I like. I'm debating about what to try. I'll be patient again and hope to find the right answer and the right deal on this board. If not, I may put my stockers back on for my trip to PA in a few weeks.
