What size exhaust to run??

Post by buzzy »

My mate has a A12 with ported polished head, twin sideys etc to go into his 1200, what size exhaust would be best to go with 2" or 2 1/2"?

Would you just go with straight pipe with 1 coby and a muffler?

I wouldn't go too big.
Too big will drone and sound horrible.

Seconded. I'm running 2" from the headers and I reckon the noise/note is just right connected to my A15 :)
