like title says.. the bike i have came with them and from what i can tell they look to be installed correct but one pipe has more airflow than the other. is this normal? if i put a hand over each pipe one at a time it still is very evedent that one is putting out more than the other.. i do like the way they sound on the bike and the milage is still good just wondering.. thanks guys/gals

here is a pic. of what is on there.. i will try to get a vid of what i am saying also

Its normal, they are all like that. It has to do with the Y pipe.

Also how close to the wear bars are you on those tires?

**NakedJ** · 08-19-2008, 02:03 PM

if you take the right hand can (as you look at the back of the bike) off and look down the pipe you'll see it has a smaller inlet from the main up pipe to the left hand one. Not sure why they all do it as would not have thought it was that hard to get the balance right. Over the winter i may take mine apart and enlarge the opening to balance out the flow

yeah man i got mine like two months ago and the first thing i notice was the airflow different one from another, and that freaked me out!! so i did my research and asked a copple of people that had them and the reason of it is the Y pipe design. So enjoy them brotha

I will agree with all the prior comments. I've noticed it too on the TB. Unless you get some pipes customized to provide a more even exhaust output on both pipes.

the right pipe is restricted, I'm told it is like that to help keep back pressure in the system so you don't lose torque

they are held in place by clamps (kinda like a hose clamp) around the cans that bolt to the top of the tail section..

EDIT: I don't see them on his??? actually what is holding them in place?
