I have seen this done, Anyone want to comment on it..
Remove right hand top pipe and plug hole so you only have one pipe on each side..same height looks good.
1st i would think you would need TOR's and CAT bypass. Who knows what would happen to the stock pipes through the cat if you blocked one hole, probably too much back pressure. But with the cat bypass and the TOR's the back pressure may be ok.
Interested to see what you guys think. Like i said i have seen it done but not sure of the details.

I'm not an idiot, and they are not Jardines. I can see some of you guys (not all) are not very creative. This could easily be done. Guess I'll have to do it to show ya. Then you'll all want to know how i did it... haa haa.
All you need to do is remove the cat and alter the bypass pipe, or better yet make a new one which would be easier since you are only using 2 pipes, all you need is a Y pipe.
Pretty sure the picture was posted from overseas. Whatever.

The point is the 2 mufflers. It's Rocket III - 3 mufflers. That's part of it's charm. If for some reason, you want 2 mufflers, you might as well spend the $1000 on Jardines. You might have 2 crappy looking mufflers but at least you'd have better performance.
