2 into 1

This is more the bored mind of a man "on the sick" than a plan or ambition, but I was wondering whether anyone here had tried putting a 2 into 1 exhaust on the storm, ( I know its been done on the track storm featured in a magazine last year).... And if they had, what difference good or ba...

Re: Air box with hidden bargain...
