Hey guys just wondering if anyone has put twin pipes on their vl v8? If so is it worth doing? Just looking at twin 2.25 on a mild 308 .. Any advice?

Surge tank? Really?? Hmm getting pretty tech just for new zorst.. Can't they just bypass around it somehow? Is there much advantage in a dual zorst? Besides a better note? I already have redback headers into single 2.5..

I had twins on my VL but it was heavily modified. For a mild engine, wouldn't even bother. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

don't bother. For a mild engine a single system is more than enough. A lot of twin systems without decent comp etc just end up sounding like thong clappers.
