Default dual exhausts on ebay

I have to say these dual exhausts on ebay seem to be ridiculous!! just by looking at them you can tell that most are just common copper fittings and tubing either in a natural (yeah right copper and solder) or chrome finish and have got to be much heavier than the standard exhausts that are made from aluminum from the major manufacturers. I would expect most here would not buy them for the 40+ dollars they are asking. If you want one, just make it yourself for under 10.00. Sorry if i offend anyone i just think its ridiculous.

I thought it might be neat to have a dual exhaust but after reading some info on tuned pipes I wonder if it would mess your engine timing up so bad it would not run very well.

ther was a topic on this a few weeks ago, these pipes will actually ruin your engine over time. I dont know the exact terms, but there is a science to the pipes you attach to your engine. Anywyas, dont get them, they will ruin your engines twice as fast.

i figured they werent good at all since there was virtually no expansion chamber to help scavenge exhaust. I had no plan to purchase one. I guess it would be the same as putting a straight pipe on my cr250. it would last about 3 days of hard riding. i guess it just amazed me that people would bid on stuff without actually researching a little to get an idea of how exhaust systems work and how the performance could not possibly increase in any area of the power curve with these pipes. Oh well, to each his own i guess.

yeah it doesnt give you the back pressure of a tuned pipe

if you want to learn some basics about pipes and find out why these things wont help like dual exhaust on a real car would read this.

i think that it is a good idea and they look good. it would be great if you didnt have to wipe all the junk off the body after a run, but the way you guys talk about them i wouldnt touch them with a ten foot pole.
