#210894 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   This may very well be the stupidest question I've asked here, so be prepared! I currently have the Roadhouse 2-1 exhaust and would not trade it for anything. I'm of the opinion that any V-twin runs stronger with a 2-1 exhaust. That being said, I love the look of the Roadhouse dual exhaust. Would it be tacky as hell to bolt on a muffler on the left side and give you a "fake" dual exhaust. I'm talking about putting on all of the piping, just not tying it into the headpipe. It would virtually look like a dual exhaust...just the left side would be "dead". I'm not saying I'm going to do this, just would rather have you guys rake me over the coals before anyone laughs at me in person! I'm already regretting hitting that Submit button!

But even more justifying the fake duals. However, if it makes you happy, go for it! (just don't tell anyone else it's fake!)

But that being said I also am a big fan of the look of the dual tail pipe. In fact that is what I wanted to run on my bike, but with the wife having a say of how the bike looks at the end, I was out voted. (still trying to figure out how that works, there are two of us each with one vote, but I am always out voted. Go figure.) Do you have any pics of the exhaust on your bike? I am thinking of running the roadhouse classic with serrated heat shields. I would like to find a fishtail tip that fits it, as I am not a big fan of the shark fin or any other tip that roadhouse makes for it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210903 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   MOPAR wrote: I am thinking of running the roadhouse classic with serrated heat shields.

Have you ever tried to find tips for for it that are not made by roadhouse?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210910 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   If you want to do that, have a muffler shop weld a blanking plate inside the crossover pipe(the one that connects to the rear jug header pipe). Mount, and connect the crossover pipe just as you would normally with duals. No one will ever know from looking at it. Be sure to install the blanking plate far enough into the crossover pipe to allow space to push it up on the header pipe for mounting.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/07/13 13:18 By Road_Hawg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210965 bigdaddy63 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 75 Re:Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   i saw a set in bagger mag. that advertised a "ghost pipe" for a 2 into 1 for the dual exhaust look, they were for harleys. i love my freedoms, but im sure u get more performance from a 2 into 1, just not the look im after. u cant be cool if your chrome don't shine!!!!lol   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #210968 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   MOPAR wrote: Thanks Roadie Those are good looking pipes.

IF SO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE O.S. DIAMETER OF THAT EXIT IS? THANKS   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #210977 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Fake dual exhaust 2 Years, 10 Months ago   The tips slide into the can not over. I can't tell you the diameter, I don't have the bike anymore.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
