Looks nice Kev, be interesting to see if there is any loss of mid or top end if you dynoed it with both systems on.

Bike is looking clean, seems a shame that you had to sling it into the scenery at Mallory just to get me to hose it down for you though.

With a week off I will have to see if I can get a bit more done, ideally I would like to carry out the leak down test to check the sealing of the valves in the rear head following the belt jumping in my lateset Mallory crash and if all is OK I would like to get it over to GP performance for a Dyno run.

If I can get that done I can see about fitting my latest aquistion picked up earlier today in the form of a 2004 engine of the 6-speed variety as used by Dave Ainscough aka MLC racing. Once the engines are swapped I will be looking at getting another Dyno run carried out to see if there is any obvious differnce in power. That will then be followed by the fitting of a PC3 USB and probably more Dyno time

Miles check out the pics a few posts above
Andy (Banger San) just borrowed one off me and took it back to the guy who made it to have a similar one made for his Monster

Miles, as Skid's said I've just had one made that retains the std rear header and you just need to cut the cross piece off, well pleased. Will upload photo when I get home tonight.

what sort of money does he make them for and out of what and in which bit of country? (not interested if it's acorns again)

What's the advantage of a 2 into 1?

Steve the advantages are Weight Saving and you can only ever damage one Exhaust per crash
Also for me it also made fitting two bikes in the van easier as they aren't quite as wide at the back.
The standard 600SS only ever cam with one Silencer as it used a 2 into 1 collector in 35mm diameter pipework.

Miles he is 14 miles West of Oxford about 4 Miles from my work base
Andy paid £150 for his the other day, no doubt the price was helped by not only having mine as a template but also when I had several made a few years ago it also paid for a Jig to be made

The 2-1 collector is connected to a standard Ducati 40mm Exhaust system, just cutting the front header in the right place prior to the splitter box
