Can anyone that has a D&D ghost pipe tell me if the ghost pipe actually connects to the real pipe. I have the ghost pipe that goes up and under the seat on a 2003 Roadking.

 

had one on my 2001 FLHTCI and it did not connect to the 2-1 head pipe

 

lol no it doesn't it's purely cosmetic. It connects where the trans mount bolts up to and where your muffler attaches below your left saddlebag

 

Ok I have it installed and it looks great. So what you are saying is that under the seat where the pipes meet I can only get the ghost pipe as close as a half inch to the real pipe. This is normal?

 

I have no idea what you're talking about, the ghost pipe has nothing to do with the 2-1 pipe completely separate entity?

 

I realize this. I am trying to get the ghost pipe as close to the real pipe as I can. So it looks like they are joined together. Strictly cosmetic purpose so when you look under the seat area it doesn't look like the ghost pipe is just hanging there.

 

I need to go play with mine a bit. it's a bit shorter then the real pipe. like 1" shorter

 

Mine is about 1/2" away from the other pipe off the rear jug. So, yes I would say this is normal. I think if they touched there would some rattling and chrome scratching going on

 

Wait this is an 03 disregard I have a 12 no experience with that setup.

 

That makes sense, thanks.
