jackpots

I got my jackpots in yesterday, the warning that comes with them that say these mufflers are balanced for optimum performance and the one with the small opening must be installed on the left side. Is the left side considered the side with the shifter? Is this sitting on the bike or looking at it from the front?

Thats what I thought, but that makes the right side louder.

It's because most of the exhaust goes out the rightside as sitting in the seat

They are evening out the back pressure since the right side breathes the most.

Are you sure? I swear mine said put the smaller opening on the throttle side, thats how the factory ones were installed.

If you are evening out the back pressure wouldn't logic dictate to pinch off the side with the most flow to even it out?
