Are there any vendors that still make a 2-into-1 exhaust for 99 vn1500j?
I haven't seen any in a long time. However, there may be some still around for the CLASSIC.
A set of custom ones is the way to go, using your original header pipes.
They do come up for sale occasionally, Vance and Hines, Cobra etc. but in the last year or so I've only seen a couple.
There's a guy over here in Leeds, 'Wunoff', that makes them from scratch in stainless. His stuff is good, well under $500, but he needs the bike in the workshop to fit.
I have one of the original Cobra ones fitted to my J1.
Looks great, in period but muted.
put a set of Hardkrome 2-1 sideburners on. Sounds extremely fierce!
