It's a Go Pro HD Hero 1, with the non-waterproof back housing on it. I'm pretty sure it's 2 1/2 before the Y. The Exhaust Shop that I had do it advised me against going bigger than 2.25 inches because of the loss of bottom end torque. I lost a very small but noticeable amount of torque off the line, but it seems to pull harder at the top of gear. It's pretty throaty, I'm very happy with how it sounds. It's not bad at all in the cab, did 75 on an interstate today and it's didn't seem any louder than my old 2.5 straight pipe. Now on the outside? She roars!

True duals with an x sounds great. I have so many people ask my what I have.. There is a little drone inside the cab while accelerating or going up hill but once the rpm calms down so does the sound. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and wouldn't want any different.

Its not crazy loud, but if you get on the pedal I can't imagine wanting any louder.

Performance, longer engine life, healthier engine operation, and slightly with sound. Those pictures with no cross make me shutter.
