Exhaust configurations. 2:2, 2:1:2 or 2:1. Best?

Decided to go with the Roadhouse Dooleys, thanks to CJ for recommending. Will be fitting them when get back to UK.

Pics are of the 'collector' pipe that the two exhaust outlets lead to and then the r-hand muffler and crossover pipe fit into. Hope they come out ok.

First pic shows the collector ( dont know what else to call it). The exhaust pipes come in from right and go back to r/h (on left) and to c/over furthest away.



Second pic shows view from rear of collector which would feed into right hand muffler. Note the welded metal in the passage which directs much of the flow into the crossover pipe, also i suppose providing some back-pressure?



Last pic is view from the end of where the crossover pipe would fit, you can see the 'tag' at the bottom where the flow is directed.



Not sure how they 'tune' the pipes, maybe that is where the cut marks come from on the tag that is nearly blocking the r/hand side.

The finish on them is great, just wierd to see the way they have done this. Will try to take pics and post them of fitting, and also record sound before and after.

Here's a link to some more pics of the Roadhouse setup. Dang, they are expensive, but
I REALLY love the look of those dual fishtail tips peeking out from under the bags.

I was thinking about going with V&H, but these pics have definitely given me second thoughts.
