Also replaced the 2.5" kink piping with 3" on the Bullets and added V Bands:

After


True 3" from the TWINS and back:


Work done by a friend who own's a local muffler shop in Chatsworth; Royal Mufflers...does top notch custom work, pm me for his contact info:

Side note: TWINS did not have to be removed, also no clearance issues.

Exhaust note is your typical Bullets that just grew an extra pair of ba!!s...not for the meek!

Hummm...gains? Extra PIMP points for having undercarriage BLING.

Drove it for approx. 30 minutes on the way home last nite and right off the bat I could sense improved throttle response, no hard #s as of yet...still a few more things to do before she goes on the dyno.
