I've read the stock headpipes are "double walled". What does this mean as far as the possibilities for cutting them, adding a section, thereby lengthening them?
I need to make the section that comes down from engine to frame longer as the stock ones won't clear my footpeg mounts or my brake pedal. It's close...but that doesn't count - the pipe that runs back along the bottom frame rail needs to be lower, to clear this stuff.
If it's impossible to lengthen the stock headpipe, due to this "double walled" aspect, could you let me know? That way I won't butcher up a pair of headpipes someone else could use. I planned on cutting up a rusty Mac 2-1 system as a "donor" for the tubing.
Anyway, gotta walk the dog then go up to Harbor Freight for flap discs, so if someone could chime in one way or the other as to the implications of the "double wall" thing, that would be really really helpful!
Thanks!
(and maybe this thread, for the future, will be easily searchable for another person coming along looking for the same info)
