Before I go at my exaust system with a grinder what are the pros and cons of short pipes and what kind of carb ad justments are needed if any?

What about 2 into1 ? ,Thanks

Thanks,

Your carbs will need rejetting (to a bigger size). Your idle mixture screw will need richened, and you and your friends will need to buy earplugs. LOL Why not seperate your exhaust at the front of the H box and leave only the headers. Try that and see how you like it and how it runs. I have never heard anything but good stuff about the 2-1 mac exhaust.

i removed my mufflers last night and installed chrome exhaust turn downs it runs great and is very loud i love it i didnt even need to rejet my carbs granted my carbs probably are not the best set in the world but none the less runs good and sounds awesome this is not my bike but this is exactly what i did to my exhaust

What diameter are those turn-downs you guys have used?

I wanna snag a pair for my bike too to replace the rusty old mufflers it's currently sporting...
