I have just collected a large-bore twin pipe exhaust from an ebay seller. It was supplied by Highgate and is 'new'. Should be interesting. I'll put it on my...

What is "large bore"? Is it the same dia from the head to the tip? Is there a crossover pipe? How many mufflers? What type of mufflers? Are there resonators...

I don't know how much " less restricted" the Weber 28/36 on a stock manifold is. The sound and feel of the exhaust would certainly change the driving ...
