Best Exhaust for 1 7/8 LTs? Today I my 1 7/8 kooks came in the post I was wondering what exhaust will make the most power with these and the ory, 3'' TDs?Or something else I have LM but thinking of selling for better set up if there is one.

i would think TD's will likely be better if they're well bent, well planned and good parts/merges are made. that being said, if you have a mediocre installer, there is no reason why a y-pipe setup cannot outperform TD's. there is no law that says just because they're true duals they are better than a catback. if you're going for all out power, 3 inch mandrel bent true duals with dynomax bullets dumped before the axel with an H-pipe will likely have the best gains. contrary to popular belief, i'm starting to believe that an H-pipe actually makes more power under the curve than an X-pipe too FWIW. X-pipes are good for peak power but suffer down low. H-pipes make more power all around recent knowledge is starting to show. prepare for one hell of a loud cruise though.
X-pipes are overrated (dyno results):
