Quite impressive! Nice job. Does the exhaust sit lower than the original? I ask because it looks lower and would allow for a set of bags if one wanted to install them without having to raise the bags too high. I like seeing the top of the back fender if it has bags. Not saying you have to put bags on it, in fact it looks great without.

Marco....molto bene!  Nice neat installation. Sounds nice too.

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!

Thanx guys, I do appreciate your consent.
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!!! ;)

Hi 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!
