nope.. not even the quickest bonneville in the world...

its not practical... you lose all the backpressure and torque

if your talking about running it where the stock exhaust is now, you would only be able to run about 1.5" piping.

probably, i thought i remember hearing either, one pipe has greater back pressure than 2 or vise versa.

but even if you ran 1.5" back you would have to widen it to atleast 2.25 or 2.5 to fit in a muffler
