That's what I'm hoping to do. There are already two faired outlets there for the old pipes but they will mostly disappear with a 2" cut.

I was just wondering whether anyone had made the switch from the crossover to a 4 pipe and whether they ran into problems x, y, z, etc trying to get it to fit correctly under the cowl. It sounds like Steve had no issues with the same project which is inspiring.

I'm glad to hear that the heat muff fit over the two pipes, that will save a few bucks. It will be a good rainy day (if it ever rains again) project in the distant future, as I doubt I'll find an immediate need for cabin heat here in South Texas.

I appreciate all the input. I'm looking forward to installing the shiny new system. It appears that the flange nuts will be more accessible on the new pipes and I can't wait to hear what it sounds like behind the Q-tip prop.
