To put it bluntly, I have no clue what this might be, because as a rule I refuse to waste my time watching a youtube video.

Can't hurt it none. I had thought about doing a Y pipe 1 into 2 a while back, but I had enough trouble mounting my fishtail muffler, let alone a two pipe scenario. Go for it, it is cool.

That rear foot peg looks mighty tight. Of course it's extended though. If the pipes are open then performance would likely be similar to just running header only. A single drag pipe has it's length to provide a little resistance.

Looks good, wonder where he got the y pipe. Of course I have to ask why is he putting two mufflers on a single :-?

Just for looks probably.

The bike in the vid with the double exhaust- I just looked at it again and noticed that it's not a LS650 motor.

Yonuh, you've got one cool a$$ bike. I've secretly admired it for a while. But I'm coming out of the closet today! You get my vote for "most unique bike".

You're right!

There are a few frames with the engine visible in this video:

It sounds like the LS 650 motor or a single at least. It didn't sound like a vertical twin to me. I wonder if it's a Borlie motor or similar.

Thanks, I just hope you are talking about my bike and not the one in the video I posted because that one ain't mine, just a video I ran across on youtube.

Nope, talkin' about your bike, dude. It's classic, old school chopper. Sweet.

From the second video its an in-line twin. From the first video you cant see much of the engine but from what you can see its clearly not an S40/LS60 side view of the motor.

Duel exhaust would be cool though :) I really wonder if someone could squeeze a small V-twin in one of these frames.

Definitely a single. I say the lump's a Yamaha XT600 / XTZ660 by the looks of lower right corner of crank case and starter/lightened sprocket cover on the left side.

Dual exhaust would be cool, but I think I would put one pipe on each side of the bike so I could be thumpin' in stereoooooooooooo...........

Title: Re: Pros and cons of doing this?

Now that would be cool, run a short pipe off the head into the Y and split the exhaust then run the pipes to either side of the bike. Shoot the whole thing rattle can high temp flat black to "hide" it.

From the front on second video looks to me like see 2 header pipes like a twin

Since you'd be running dual pipes, you could actually run smaller 1"-1.25" pipe from the Y to the mufflers for a combined diameter of 2"+. I know it's not quite that simple but you get the idea. Smaller=easier to do.
