Default Cross over pipe?

I am wondering if there is anyone out there that makes a better exhaust cross over pipe(the pipe going under the bike to the left muffler) for the stock exhaust on an 09 up touring model?The stock pipe looks like it would be very restrictive where it is flattened out.So I'm curious if anyone makes and sells a round cross over pipe with mounting brackets?

Being that both exhaust go out both mufflers the crossover is not restricting the total volume of exhaust gas that much. THe mufflers are also not built the same. One has less restriction, cannot remember which one.

I have not seen just a crossover replacement pipe, but the Cobra Powerport Header system replaces this section with a full 1 3/4" dia section as part of its system. When my friend/mechanic replaced mine I mentioned this to him, he said the crossover is not restrictive as the cross section is rectangular and allows full flow as much as the round section. Makes sense to me as air/gasses react differently than liquids do when flowing thru piping.

ps the left side is more restrictive. When I got the Fuel Moto Dyno tuned slip ons the instructions said to put the smaller inside dia muffler on the left side (clutch/shifting).
