Thank you, bud.
To tell you the truth, I would have liked a little more a different solution for the 2 in 1 junction, just like that one made by American Dreams (take a look here: https://japan.webike.net/products/20193302.html). But if I think about the half cost it took me, I guess I can be very proud of the final result!

BTW, I forgot to mention that I've had to grind off the lower back end of the right floorboard base, just to be able to accomodate the front manifold pipe... I don't mind of that, because the difference from the left floorboard basement is quite invisible to see and, most of all, the mod absolutely worth it!!!

- June 26, 2017, 12:09:25 PMHi guys, I've just finished today with the last in time mod: a new custom made exhaust!
So, I'd like to share it with you all.
Take a look over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgaSCjjJSG8
It took me a total amount of $390 circa (€350): I bought a second hand manifolds (they're from a 800 Vulcan Classic) that the PO had modified in a 2-1; then, with the helpin' hand of a friend of mine, I've soldered to it a piece of pipe I ripped from an old car; finally, I've added the fishtail muffler that I had bought on e-bay.
I took the bike on the road and, MAN!, the results are incredible! I mean, the new exhaust not only improves the style and the sound of my bike (BTW, now she growls like a big bad tiger... I hope you can hear it from the video), but it even improves the performance: now ma-deuce responds more immediately to the accelerator and it's much faster then before!
I haven't had the chance to make instrumental measurements. That's just a feeling that I've had just by ridin' her.
Believe me, I rode all the way with a big big smile on my face!
