That set up looks easy enough...
Do you have a H pipe or X pipe

Btw kinda off topic, but I just took my Harley's exhaust system from a equalizer piped system to a non-equalizer. After research I found the difference wasnt too noticeable but the sound was better... I didnt notice much power loss, a tad but it wasnt anything that the tuning didnt take care of but the sound is pretty badass Its alittle more "aggressive"

Well, I won't steal Eric's thunder but the basis of the "H" pipe is to create higher torque while the "X" pipe is designed to provide top end horsepower.
