While you are at it...
Consider closing what appears to be a hole on your filter air box by the carb heat lever. It's sucking warm air from inside your cowl. Cannot tell from pic if hole is there intentionally to allow clearance for the carb heat lever.

Hole is there for lever clearance. It is on my to-do list to address, after the new exhaust, new baffles, and ASI issues!!! 
Thanks for giving the suggestion.

Update...
Just spoke to Clint at Vetterman. New exhaust on order, he thinks he can get it built this week and shipped next week. Just need to work out some carb heat muff details.
Great people to work with!

I love your attitude to piling on

Vans has them also, I've got at least a half dozen installed.

Update...
I installed my new Vetterman crossover exhaust today. It was a work of art and fit absolutely perfectly. I was expecting to have to do some kind of mod somewhere, but in fact, I just bolted it on, adjusted the pipes to come out of the cowling where I wanted them, made the hangars to keep them in place, and went flying!!!!
A hearty recommendation for Clint and Larry: quick turnaround, fair price, quality materials, and incredible construction.

Nice. Down for two weeks and back in the air with a better safer machine. That is a win.

Nothing but a Vetterman System for sure... the finest exhaust built hands down and they will always stand behind their product.
